I installed xscreensaver to avoid screen sleep and other interruptions, because I'm showing a feh picture presentation on a HDMI connected TV 24/7.

I managed to disable screesavers and screen blanking/sleeping/powering off but I'm getting stuck with a login screen, which appears after a few hours. The feh presentation is not visible anymore then, just the desktop background:

Lock Screen after couple of hours

I disabled screen locking in xscreensaver as well, as you can see in the configuration file. For debugging purposes I also activated xscreensavers logging in verbose mode and attached the regarding logs in the same Gist as linked above. I think it starts properly.

Are there any other components in Raspbian GNU/Linux 9, which could activate the lockscreen?

Any help is appreciated!

  • I updated the xscreensaver logfile (https://gist.github.com/nihebe/3d7322d19d189e2e406370156c703371) - it tries to blank the screen every 10 minutes, however I never noticed any blanking. – Nils May 13 '19 at 11:05
  • that does not appear to be screen saver related .... it looks like an auto logout process ..... you are asking your question in the wrong place .... it is a Linux question, not an RPi question – jsotola May 13 '19 at 22:35

I finally found the answer here: Boot to Login Screen Raspberry

you can open a terminal and type

sudo raspi-config

There you can go to 

3-->Boot Options

Then

B1-->Desktop / CLI

And there you can choose:

B4-->Desktop Autologin Desktop GUI, automatically logged in as 'pi' user

After a reboot, you should access directly the desktop.
