Public bug reported: I have removed gnome-screensaver and replaced it with xscreensaver, and am trying to prevent it from locking my screen when my laptop's screen turns back on or when it wakes up from being suspended. Even though the "Lock Screen After" box in xscreensaver's setting is unchecked, the lock will still pop up and demand a password when I open my lid. The expected behavior is, of course, to not have that occur.
The system settings have also been set to "Do nothing" when I close it (and indeed, gnome-screensaver obeyed these settings just fine when I was using it). Often after I restart the computer xscreensaver acts as it should for a while, but eventually the problem will crop back up. I've noticed no pattern, save that when it does start doing this I can't seem to make it stop. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (though this also occured in 11.10). I'm also not alone I think, see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/95295/how-to-prevent- screen-locking-when-lid-is-closed Thanks! ** Affects: xscreensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994754 Title: Xscreensaver locks when it should not To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/994754/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
