Screen locked for user without password

Post by boloog »

Hi guys.

Just started with lint cinnamon (rebecca 17.1)
I created a user for my daughter without a password, but when the screen blanks (after a while) it asks for a password to log in. Leaving it blank doesn work. The workaround is to change user, and then go back to locked user.
To get rid of it i disabled screen savers etc.
Is there a solution.

Thanks,
Richard..

Hello Richard, welcome to this forum!!

Disabling the screenlocking from the settings screen does the trick for me.
Did some clicking around but found no other location for this anymore.
But you probably have to do this under the account of your daughter, because this is the setting for her account.
Add (Solved) to the topic-title of the first post when appropriate so others know they might find a solution here.
