how to stop screen lock

Thu Nov 3 12:57:39 UTC 2022

I presume that you are using the (default) GUI login (gdm?) and my guess is 
that gdm (or whatever it is called now) is doing this (reverting to the login 
screen on VT terminal changes).  *I* have disabled the GUI login (change the 
default target to the plain multi-user target).  I get the (black) console 
login screen and use startx to fire up the GUI (I have some contitional code 
in a couple of my machines' login script to do this automagically).
