Hi all I am trying to afk on my game ie leave it running while I'm not there but I have ran into a problem everything 5 minutes is up it locks the screen I have tried a few things to try stop it but nothing has worked I'm on xubuntu 22 one thing I found to try I could do as there is no option to enter system settings

The best way to system settings is, in my opinion, to open Settings Manager from the menu.
In that you will find many places which can affect screen locking but the most likely are the Screensaver and Power-Manager.

Try to run command below using your terminal. To access terminal ctrl and alt + T or just look at it under the application software in your xubutu operating system

gnome-control-center

If you try to run gnome-control-center and get command not found, just try to install it with the command below:

sudo apt install gnome-control-center

Regards and cheers.

Don't bother with this if you're not using the default gnome DE of Ubuntu; Xubuntu has its own version, the xfce4-settings-manager as I mentioned above.

Thanks ajgreeny. I just thought that xubuntu can also use gnome settings as xubuntu is also one of the flavor of Ubuntu Operating System which gnome is the default DE. If xfce won't work then try to use gnome DE and run gnome setting. But thanks again for the correction. Glad to be corrected. Regards and cheers.
