I want to disable the lock screen after suspend session of Lubuntu. But it seems Lubuntu doesn't have a lot of fans. Can anyone help me on this issue?

I don't want to lock the screen after suspension. Does anyone know which file deals this locking in Lubuntu?

Go to Menu > Preferences > Power Manager > Security then uncheck box marked "Lock screen when system is going for sleep". You may have to log out and log back in for it to take effect.

  • I really wish there was some more convenient method, i.e. not having to log out and back in. I like to turn off the lock screen for limited periods of time, and having to continually disrupt my desktop is kind of a deal breaker. – Michael Sep 21 '19 at 23:36
  • is this the standard procedure of Lubuntu? cause there is no security tab in Power Manager on LXQt – CuriousNewbie May 22 '21 at 05:41
  • Lockscreen in Lubuntu 20.04 now appears to be located in Menu > Preferences > Screensaver. At the bottom of the "Display Modes" window there is a checkbox which from memory is disabled on a new install. It goes to a screensaver instead, which can be disabled at the top of window in the "Mode" box. – user111667 May 28 '21 at 11:42
  • in Lubuntu 24.04 this setting is in Start Menu -> Preferences -> LXQt Settings -> Session Settings -> Basic Settings -> Leave Session -> Lock screen before suspending/hibernating (I also unchecked and stopped Power Management since I'm on a VM) – hello_earth May 12 '25 at 11:33

Lock screen in Lubuntu 20.04.1 is in Menu > Preferences > Power Manager > System tab, down to Security at the bottom; it is checked by default, just uncheck it. Also in Menu > Preferences > ScreenSaver > Display Modes tab down at the bottom, make sure it's unchecked, as it's unchecked by default.
