Disable screen locking with xubuntu 20.04 and lightdm

Ok, I think I found it. What's up with two screen-locking settings? The lock setting that actually helped was under "screensaver"


If you want to automate it or simply do it by command line, then you need to create or update 2 files:

~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-screensaver.xml with content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<channel name="xfce4-screensaver" version="1.0">
  <property name="saver" type="empty">
    <property name="mode" type="int" value="0"/>
    <property name="enabled" type="bool" value="false"/>
  </property>
  <property name="lock" type="empty">
    <property name="enabled" type="bool" value="false"/>
  </property>
</channel>

~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml with content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <property name="power-button-action" type="empty"/>
