Stop Xscreensaver from locking screen once screensaver starts

I have installed Lubuntu 12.04 and was wondering if there was a way to keep it from locking the screen when the screensaver starts?
The "lock screen after X minutes" box is unchecked, so that is not causing the problem. Does anyone know the solution for this problem? I'm not worried about security, so i don't need it locked.


I think you have to disable the "lock" in two different places. First, open the power manager. You can click on the power icon in the panel and select "preferences" or it should also be in Menu -> Preferences -> Power Manager

De-select "Lock screen...." under the "Extended" menu tab.

Second, open screensaver preferences. Menu -> Preferences -> Screensaver.

Again, de-select "lock screen..." at the bottom of the window.

I recommend you simply remove xscreensaver by typing sudo apt-get remove xscreensaver This will solve your problem, if you don't need a screensaver, your screen still turns black by your energy safe settings.


On a fresh Lubuntu 18.10 install, I went to Preferences > LXQt settings > Session settings and unchecked Lock screen before suspending/hibernating and that seems to have done the trick.
