Ubuntu 10.04: turn off automatic screen lock/disable re-login after computer has been idle

Thank you

No problem! : )

Thanks! I’m new to Ubuntu, so any info I get is MUCH appreciated!

Thanks mate.

After installing 10.04 (fresh install) I have been unable to get rid of lock-screen after suspend. I have disabled the preferences-screensaver, and I have disabled it in gconf-editor in Lock and Powermanagement, and even checked “disable lock-screen” in desktop. Nothing works. This was not a problem in 9.10. Any suggestions?

I finally found a solution, but a contradictory one at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466504
This is obviously a bug.

thanks, you helped a ton

thanks

Thanks a lot!

Glad I could help!

Thanks, it was really helpful!

I just now switched to ubuntu ,,,its awesome but system frequently gets hanged

Thank you

I would really like to say thanks, but can see that you’ve already been thanked plenty. How about I offer you 100$ in cash and a free car wash? (wax not included)

You’ve made my week!

(I knew there’d be some use for that wax one day…. : )

thanks man

The default time is so small I don’t think it best suits most users at all. In the end its all about the approach though. At least its very easy to disable.

I agree completely! This was one of the very first things I changed on my installation.

If this doesn’t work try second solution from here:

Thanks for this tip! The default 5 minutes is absolutely stupid.

Finally! I’m done logging in 20x a day:)
Thanks for the post

Hi,
For some reason, I don’t seem to have a
Screensaver
menu link in System > Preferences.

is there a alternative way to make this work
Mine is a work computer – so maybe IT has disabled it or something.

Thanks

I have just installed ubuntu today and couldnt work this out.

Every time I took the screen lock off my taskbar disappeared

Thanks for this, its the first time i’ve ever used linux and I have a steep learning curve ahead.

Many thanks

Does anyone know how to prevent users from creating their own accounts?

Thanks a lot…..
