It isn’t “logging you off”, X is crashing. Look at the various Xorg logs to see why.

Yes i think you’re right X is crashing, so where i can look for the Xorg logs??? is this happening to you???

#4

An X crash is quite different from being forced to login again. Maybe your power management is set to “lock screen on resume”?

#5

Yes it is set to lock on resume, so you’re sayin lock on resume is the culprit?

Looks like it…

But that still has you logged in, it just puts up an authentication dialogue where you enter your password once more (same as if you require a password after screen saver has activated).

Going back to the login screen does indeed suggest X crashed on way back from power management. I would make sure I’d applied all the OS patches by Online Update or “zypper up” with only openSUSE repos & Packman active. I can’t find an option to turn off DPMS these days, which is the Monitor standby feature IIRC.

Is there anything in system log files, complaining of an issue? /var/log is the place to look, and CNTL-ALT-F10 just after you return from standby. One idea might be to switch to text mode (temporarily), by “init 3” to set non-graphics runlevel, then at console try “powersave -u” to sleep, see if pc wakes up OK from monitor standby then, or do messages appear about “low memory corruption”. Default run level is reset by either reboot or “init 5” from console.

You’re technically right, of course, I just assumed that that’s what the OP experienced and (mis)described as “logged out”…
