How disable screen autolock in lubuntu

Hi,

I see several threads here that show how to enable screensaver lock but how do I disable
it ? I tried different options like remove "Screen Locker" from autostart. and
disable "monitor power management control" in "power manager". "On AC" -> monitor ->
"put display to sleep" and "switch off display" to "never" and "never". Nothing helps.
Any other suggestions ?

i'm not at an lxde system right now, but my guess is: check out the screensaver's preferences. maybe it has a checkbox for "lock screen when activated".

edit: i suppose that is what you're looking for.
your description is a little ambiguous - you are not refering to the login screen?

I use another way. I add pkill lines to the end my autostart to get rid of (user) processes I don't want. The exact format will depend on your distro's autostart.

I kill
blueman-applet <<< don't use Bluetooth
applet.py <<< no printer
update-notifier <<< prefer to check twice a day myself
pkill light-locker <<< only I have access to the computer

i rarely say this, but i strongly disapprove of this approach.
if i don't like a feature, i remove it from my system. i don't have to bludgeon it.
that's the beauty of linux.
