[kubuntu question][SOLVED] lock screen comes on during video playback

Post by Snafu »

When watching video the lock screen comes on. How do I stop this occurring? I know I've seen a thread about this issue before but can't find it now.

Try here.
I would have asked there if I hadn't been blocked from the kubuntu forum. Apparently they consider me a spammer even though I've only posted there twice.

Hi Snafu,
I have to admit that I haven't been using my Kubuntu 18.04 that much, but do you think it can have something to do with the settings in "Energy Saving"?

Have you tried watching video with VLC? That's included in Kubuntu 18.04.
