Hello,

Intermiitantly, after about 10 min, the xscreensaver timeout, Flashback Compiz sessions will log me out; and I have to log back in. This is really mysterious. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Hannibal

xset -d :0 s 0


try that and see if it still happens

I doubt very much its compiz causing the problem its more like lightdm isnt fully installed or missing packages and when you use some applications and increase cpu or graphics load , it defaults to tty
it sounds like a graphic issue

compiz wont log you out, it will either work or not work or work but function wrong i.e windows appear with no titlebar etc etc , but lightdm will log you out if theres a failure in xorg

try reinstalling lightdm



sudo apt-get --reinstall lightdm

Your description sounds exactly like what I've been experiencing; but neither of the proposed fixes worked.

Thanks, Hannibal
