SOLVED: Problem with screen saver and lock

[danorske]

Hi, I have OS 11.1 64 bit, PC. The screensaver comes on and it locks the screen and I have to give me password to get back to work. I've used "configure desktop" to turn off the screen saver and I disabled the power saver. But that doesn't help. I can't find anything in Yast.


Having to unlock the system sure gets annoying. Can someone point me to a fix for this?

Thanks a lot,

Ron

Sorry, Doesn't work for me. I've even got the screen saver unchecked and it still comes on.

The same bug. It's making me mad. Wise men - please could you recommend how to disable screensaver by "lancet way" - in config files, daemon killing etc. GUI way does not work!

Now trying to edit ~/.kde4/share/config/kscreensaverrc
But I dont know when the rules begin to work? Which service is to restart?

the problem stays the same. I've found no way to disable s-saver and lock up to this time. Is it committed as "official" bug?

whats the bug number so I can add my comments. I have same problem on
KDE4.2.1 release 103. Screensaver box is un checked, powersaver is
disabled. Still looks screen evertime I go away for over 3 minutes. need
password to return.

My kscreensaverrc has the following:
[ScreenSaver]
Enabled=true
Lock=false
LockGrace=30000
PlasmaEnabled=false
Saver=KClock.desktop
Timeout=240
I do have a look Icon on right side of panel, but short of removing Icon It
does not seem to do anything. Have not tried removing it.

You won't find the solution in kscreensaverrc but by editing the Personal Settings / Advanced. Explanation of this irritating change (not a bug) is given here :
