LM20 Cinnamon - DM restarts on lid close + open action

[burianvlastimil]

hello, I am testing beta on mom's computer and she very often suspends her computer, so requiring a password on wakeup from sleep is terribly urgent to solve, thank you! will provide any information if asked. also accepting any workarounds just not to enter that password all the time. I tried now:

passwd HerUsername

to set it empty, but to no avail.

perhaps find another test machine :)

try in system setting, screensaver, uncheck "lock computer when put sleep"

I will post a screenshot shortly

[burianvlastimil]

yes, unchecked

[burianvlastimil]

it's also impossible to remove the cinnamon-screensaver package

root@lenovo-z50-70:~# LC_ALL=C apt purge cinnamon-screensaver

oh, I think I got it finally removed with:

dpkg -r --force-depends cinnamon-screensaver

but afterward it's no longer possible to log in, so I installed it back via ssh now...

[burianvlastimil]

also, trying to kill the screensaver process from inside crontab (user's or root's) does not workaround this issue:

*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/pkill -KILL cinnamon-scr

[pasch256]

well, try in setting,power, and put never in "turn off screen when inactive for" and the same for the setting below that...

[pasch256]

this'll be rather important info I just got:

• the issue only appears to happen when lid is closed;
• when I press manually Suspend in the Shutdown menu, it does not appear to happen

also, it's no lock screen, nor a screensaver, the whole display manager gets restarted, but why? all apps gone after I wake it up via LID close & LID open process

[burianvlastimil]

I've switched temporarily LID ACTION to "Do Nothing" and instructed mom to suspend it via menu, at least temporary solution.

[kkittykait]

we need a "mom" label
