Version: (using KDE 4.2.85) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs in system config: - desktop / screensaver: i uncheck the need for password to stop screensaver - advanced / energy / general config: i uncheck the lock screen on wake-up however, after the screen stands by, it prompts for a password during wake-up. regular screensaver does not seem to trigger the need for password. i am not using a laptop.
Looks like a duplicate of Bug 186786 for me.
indeed, stopping powerdevil removes the locking. however, i cannot uncheck powerdevil - it's always started when logging in, and i need to stop it manually. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 186786 ***
