help lucid linux goes to sleep irrespective of the setting

[magnetpest2k7]

Hello all,

I am using ubuntu 10.04 . Even though i have set power options where it says "put power options to sleep" to "never"the computer goes to sleep after 5minutes. I again have to give the password to unlock .

Is there any solution for this? ubuntu 9.10 dint have this problem.

Thanks

Are you sure it's not just the screen saver?
Open gnome-screensaver-preferences (System --> Settings --> Screen saver) and inactivate the option "Lock when screen saver is active".
