[opensuse] Screen lock
Can anyone tell me where you turn off this function. Google had an item that said Kpowersave does it. But I cannot find any parameter for it. I have a desktop, not laptop which appears to be what kpowersave is for. Did not find anything on WIKI either. Thanks for any pointers -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There are a couple of places in the KDE control center that may be of interest to you. Peripherals/Display has a power control tab where you can enable/disable power management. Screensaver controls are under Appearance & Themes. There is some provision for screen locking enable/disable after you click on "Advanced". The above is for KDE 3.4.0, and may be different in other versions. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you talking about having to enter a password to stop your screensaver? If so, you turn that off "Personal Settings -- Appearance and Themes -- Screensaver -- Require Password To Stoop".

Greg Wallace Not really, unless I misunderstand what stop does. After my screen has been inactive for a short period to get locked with screen saver on and I have to reenter the password to get back to what I was doing.
Just in case I dont understand I'll change that parameter and see if it is the problem. I'll let you know. Thanks for the response. -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Greg Thanks Greg that was it. The check box definition had me stumped. Thanks again. -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
