Mageia forum

I am using Magia 6. I am having a problem with the monitor going off, or, logging me off. I have set the "Power Saving " mode to the "off" setting; however I have not found a way to keep the system from auto-logging me out. This occured even before the update 10-06-18.
How can I fix this?

SOLVED!

What desktop environment are you using? And please also post the output of

Code: Select all

xset q

I am using KDE Desktop.
Here is the output you requested

And the problem is that your monitor is turning off after some time, or the screenlocker enables and you have to provide your password to unlock it - or are you actually logged off?

I suppose the screen is locking, but I have to re-enter my password. I soppose if it were logging me off I would see the "user-choose" screen; but, that is not the case. I merely have to sign-in again.

I believe I have solved the problem. In KDE there are two(2) settings that controll the display: They are " Energy Saving", and " Desktop Behavior->Screen Lock" settings in
the "Control Panel".
I appreciate the quick responses from doktor5000! Thanks!
