Re: disable session lock screen

This shouldn't be happening and it's likely that you're not suspending to disk at all.

Follow the wiki's directions for pm-utils/suspend to disk. Make sure you have a resume partition specified in your grub entry.

Resuming from suspend to disk/ram doesn't prompt you for a login.

Re: disable session lock screen

well i am positive it is suspending to disk. and i did follow that same wiki...

i do see my desktop for about half a second then the screen goes dark and gives me the session lock.

but as far as the suspending goes it appears to work like a charm.

"Session lock" makes me think that you're using a DE. If so, GNOME or KDE?

And post the output of dmesg | grep resume -i

You should see something like this:

Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda8 ro quiet resume=/dev/sda10
PM: Starting manual resume from disk

Re: disable session lock screen

im using kdemod and  maybe session lock was not the proper term...

it's like a plasma login screen (it uses my plasma theme anyways) that forces me to log in. i mean i can still get in... it is just an annoyance.

here is the ouiput:

dmesg | grep resume -i
Command line: root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/8d9b5e49-d8c2-40c1-974b-3c850ea10366 resume=/dev/sda8 ro
Kernel command line: root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/8d9b5e49-d8c2-40c1-974b-3c850ea10366 resume=/dev/sda8 ro
PM: Starting manual resume from disk

Well, I take back what I said. After a quick search I've found out KDE does this by design.

I was mistakenly assuming you weren't using a DE, dismiss my posts.
