Hello people, I have a problem with the screensaver/lock screen function in debian. The problem is, when I lock the screen (hotkey or over the menu), then the system stops every process and wifi connection (by deactivating the wifi). This is quite annoying, because I want to lock the screen for protection, without stopping processes like compiling programs. I do not find any setting, where I can modifiy this behaviour, even by searching in the internet. I also do not want to install a screensaver, like xscreensaver now, because this is only a ignoring of the problem. Can somebody help me? best regards Basti

I've been using it for years so I hadn't noticed the -n switch that allows you to run it in X (with switching to a VC first). You can still ssh into, and scp to, the machine while it's locked. AFAICT Debian's versions allow unlocking with the root password as well as the user's, which is handy if you forget which username you were logged in under when you vlock'd it. Cheers, David.
