I have been looking up and down for lockscreen settings for Plasma 5. I can't seem to find any way to change the amount of time before it locks the screen. Any idea where the settings are? I would like to be able to turn off the auto-lock timer that runs it.

Did you try to use the search field? If I enter "Lock" I will be navigated to it. We recently changed the position. Now it's in "Desktop Behavior", it used to be in "Display and Monitor"

I feel stupid. I kept searching for things like Screen Saver. It was there, and now I feel like an idiot. Thanks!

I did not find a way to disable the lock screen (In KDE 5 / Kubuntu 15.04)
I just could set it to 99 minutes.
Is there any way to disable it?

Is there any way to disable it?

Just set it to 0. The next version (5.3) has a proper checkbox.

great thanks

Under which sub-menu is it now? The first one, Workspace behaviour, only has a checkbox for showing tooltips. Nothing else.

KDE System Settings > Desktop Behavior > Screen Locking




Quick:

Code: Select all

$ kcmshell5 --list | grep locker
screenlocker                     - Screen Locking Timeouts


=>

Code: Select all

$ kcmshell5 screenlocker

will show the 'Screen Locking Timeouts' module

Thank you. I was missing the "kde-config-screenlocker" package from Debian.

Thank You! I had the same "problem".

My problem with it is that there is a pictures slideshow but no way I can find to get rid of the login. I want the slideshow so I have to have the lock on but then the greatest amount on seconds i can enter before having a password is 300, changing to 0 unfortunately means immediately. Cest la vie.

Well, if you want it to never lock and just show the slideshow after a certain
amount of time or on a certain key combo, you could just set it up to launch
gwenview in slideshow mode.
To start the slideshow after a certain amount of time, open Power Management
in System Settings, and under Energy Saving check Run Script, enter the
command like "gwenview -fs ~/Pictures", change the Run Script drop-down to
after and enter the appropriate amount of time.
To start the slideshow on a certain key combo, go to the Shortcuts and
Gestures settings and create a new Custom Shortcut for the aforementioned
gwenview command.

Then disable screen locking via System Settings -> Desktop Behavior -> Screen Locking -> uncheck Lock Screen after ...
