I have searched high and low for the screen locker setting, but I cannot for the life of me find it.
I have a new Tumbleweed install (upgraded from 13.2), which locks the screen after a few minutes of inactivity, which is really annoying me.
P.S. apart from that, Tumbleweed is beautiful

I assume that “screen locker” is a feature of a desktop. Wouldn’t it help when you explained what desktop environment you are using?
Yes, sorry you’re right, that would help.
I’m using what I assume is the latest version of KDE.
This is one of the rpm’s if that helps:
kdebase4-workspace-liboxygenstyle-4.11.22-5.1.x86_64

You have to start system settings (you can start it from command line by typing /usr/bin/systemsettings5) and then look for “Desktop Behavior” under the “Workspace” header.
Open “Desktop Behavior” and the fourth icon from top-left should be “Screen locking” (or something like that, I have the italian locale).
Hope this helps…

Further to the advice already given, here are some images illustrating this on Tumbleweed with KDE (under “Configure Desktop” ).
ie Configure Desktop > System Settings > Workspace > Desktop Behaviour

followed by
Desktop Behaviour > Screen Locking and deselect "Lock Screen Automatically … ".

Thanks a lot oldcpu and chris70, I don’t know how I missed that setting!
