How to disable lock screen in Phosh?

[nelstomlinson]

It looks like this has been [fixed](https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/pho...1667d6314a), and is waiting for [a merge](https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/pho...quests/747) into the codebase. So keep an eye on those threads.

From here

Merge blocked: fast-forward merge is not possible. To merge this request, first rebase locally.

Looks as if that's not going to get merged for a while.

The merge request 747 has been replaced by a new one, two weeks ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/pho...uests/1012
Let's hope that this will succeed soon.

This merge request 1012 was merged and it is present in phosh 0.25.1 It took 2 years, but better late than never.

The following command works for me to avoid screen locking with the power button:

   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 3600

Please share better ideas.

Thanks for the heads-up. Manjaro Phosh Beta 29 is still at Phosh 24 but I downloaded Phosh and Phoc 25.1 from here:
https://archmobile.mirror.danctnix.org/d...g/aarch64/

and manually installed them. So far, without problem.

With your command, using PP Beta and physical kb, the power button simply blanks the screen for a moment, then it comes back. Sometimes, however, it's in portrait.

Now, when the screen times out, it does come back without lockscreen and that's great.

Since I hate the pop-up warning of a suspend, I disabled suspend in Phosh and installed/used xautolocker which simply suspends with user-set time.

I still would love to find auto login from boot. And also, a way to forgo any pin entry at all. Editing /etc/sudoers helps in terminal/scripts, but the six-character login remains a pain.

Thanks again for the find.

Need no better. Works! On manjaro phosh 26.
You added lots of stress-free time to my life, have a drink on me!

This still leaves it locked when it suspends after getting asleep, as the other suggestion above didn't catch.
