Hello,


until yesterday, when I was inactive for about 5-7 minutes the screen 
would go in screen saving mode and lock (need password to unlock), the 
behaviour I like.  Yesterday I watched a long documentary on Youtube, 
the screen locked, to prevent it I ran:


$ xset s off

$ xset -dpms


everything was fine, no more locking; but now it doesn't lock at all 
anymore (yes, I logged off and rebooted since yesterday) and I can't 
find in the Xubuntu documentation how to revert to the original behaviour??


Xubuntu 20.04 LTS


Thanks for your support,


Gérald
