When I set my power setting to blank the screen after a set amount of time when the screen goes blank it logs me out of elementary. When I log back in I have to restart my applications.

elementary is a wonderful OS but I just can't see a way of fixing this problem.

This is getting frustrating as if I have a long download or upload I leave it going over night but they have been cut out due to this problem.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

You could use Terminal and

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true

or use dconf editor and go to:

org > gnome > desktop > lockdown

and set disable-lock-screen on true

This way you still can have the screen sleep and also enter suspend but still wake up directly into your desktop (without lock screen).

  • PS: If you want to continue the download in background with dimmed screen you should keep "Sleep when inactive" to "never". (In Power settings that is)

I'm not sure if this will be the solution for your problem, but you could try turning of the Screen Lock (normaly it shouldn't exit applications).

Got to System-Settings->Security->Locking: enter image description here

Also try to set "Sleep when inactive" to "never" under Energy
