Mageia forum

I have automatic screen locking turned off, but there are several occasions when it still locks the screen and does its screensaver thing (after closing laptop lid, when powering back on after a low battery, etc.)

It asks me for a password every time and I must click the password box and enter my user password in order to get back into the system. How do I prevent this? I never want to have to enter my user password and I never want the screen to lock down.. ever. I know there are probably reasons why it does this, but they do not apply to me. I hate having to enter my password all the time.

How do I disable screen locking?

Which desktop environment do you use, and which Mageia version?

Mageia3 with KDE 4.10.. when the screen locks, i have to move the mouse to stop the screensaver and the login box is shifted to the left and it's centered on the background that looks like it's in 4:3 ratio and repeating.. weird.

systemsettings -> energy settings -> advanced -> lock screen after resuming

This is what you need to disable.
