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
“Under Screen Saver, settings, require password to stop, - unchecking the
box does the trick - thanks !”
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?

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 :

Thank You! Saved a lot of angst!
Thanks Bzidler!!!
Works like a champ now. They sure have that hidden well,
Ron;)
Hidden well? I would call this braindead design!! I would have kept searching if there wouldnt be the option below the screensaver settings which suggests that this is exactly the setting I was after!! And if you have this option then unchecked, and the lock still plugs in (not to mention the idiotic sound coupled with the lock) then you consider this a bug. The KDE folks should replace the nonworking setting from screensaver options page with a button which links to the powermanagement settings (like Windoze does too) - this would have saved us all a lot of annoying locks!
There are three places where the screen can get locked, not just two.
