elogind session locking
by vovim from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DK34)
Hello again everyone,
I have another problem. At first I thought that it was a problem with my cordless mouse because I had just done an upgrade to my slackware current. But on further investigation I found that it was elogind locking my session because I had been away from my computer for a few minutes. I can work around the problem by going to another virtual terminal, logging in as root and using the loginctl command "list-sessions" to find the locked session id and then using the loginctl command "unlock-session" with the session id to be unlocked. And then my mouse magically starts working again.
I am hoping that there is someone here who has more knowledge of elogind and can advise me if there is a change that I can make to its configuration to stop it locking my session when I am away from my computer for a few minutes ?
Thank You.
