Summary0009060: Lock screen activated despite settings set to not lock screen in Kali 2024.4
Description

Since Kali 2024.4, several users have reported that the lock screen is activated after a short period of inactivity, despite settings changed to prevent. Configuring power and display options to prevent screen lock does not stop the screen from locking automatically. I was running 2024.3 in a VM and had no problems. Performed an upgrade and first noticed the issue. Downloaded a new base install of 2024.4, and noticed the issue is also present with no additional changes.

To replicate issue, download new ISO image of 2024.4 in a VM and the screen logout will occur, even if the setting is disabled.

Several users affected, see this report and messages in OffSec Discord server for further examples.

Needs to be reported to the Desktop Environment (e.g. XFCE) developers?
