One of my F38 machines has taken to demanding that I login over and over. I want not to have to login at all. (I'm the sole user, and at home.) Fwiw, I'm running xscreensaver under Mate. Where and how do I reconfigure?
On the screensaver configuration screen (under the "system/preferences/look and feel/screensaver" pulldown) there's a "lock screen when screensaver active" checkbox. I suspect that if you uncheck that you'll get the action you desire.
I always do that; and yes, I've checked it twice in the last couple minutes. What's more, I've tried it with and without a zero in the "number of minutes" box.
And, btw, it's been doing this through more than one change of kernel with following reboot.
Istr there's an applet somewhere actually called "login" or something to that effect. I *think* it does other things; it might also include a choice of when and whether to log the user out. But I haven't managed to find it. :-(
