(Solved) How to turn off auto screen lock?

[dfgrbac]

Since installing Mageia 6 on my HP Pavilion, the screen automatically locks itself after being idle for about 10 minutes. This requires me to login again each time. In Mageia 5, the screen only cleared itself and touching anything brought it alive again with no login required. Requiring the login is annoying.

How do I prevent this automatic screen lock?

Hi,

which desktop.

you should be able to disable the screenlocker via the settings module for each desktop.
you can also leave the screen saver / slide show to start after a few minutes, which is very similar to what you describe.

Thanks for the replies. I found the button for screen lock. That seems to have turned it off.
By the way, I always use the defaults sent with the system. I seldom change anything, but I do explore options very infrequently.

One thing I noticed recently is that the feature that slides desktops around has stopped sliding. Now it just pops to the other desktop. I really don't care, but it seems strange that it stopped sliding. I've been using Mageia 6 since the official release.
