[Solved] Stop screen from going to login and black

Sector11 · 2017-06-12 23:18:29

The new BL "Deuterium" build.

If I leave my computer for a few minutes (? a while) the screen goes black and I have to move the mouse rapidly to get to my screen only to see the login screen.

How can I stop this action?

I want my screen there all day long whether I'm using the computer or not.

in my autostart file:

### Stop screen from going black ###
(xset -dpms && xset s off) &  ###  Does not work in BL D

I have no screensaver here.

Have you checked the power management settings? ( Menu -> Preferences -> Power Management )

Specifically the Lock Screen checkbox on the System tab, and the Display tab settings.

Where?

Using openbox, correct?

...screen goes black and I have to move the mouse rapidly to get to my screen only to see the login screen.

That looks like you do have a screensaver/locker running.

What *.desktop files are installed in /etc/xdg/autostart/

I thought BL uses light-locker by default, so perhaps this thread is still applicable?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh just removed light-locker and xfce4-power-manager.

Thank you, I must have done that a few years back and forgot.
