The solution may be simple, but I'll need help. After a new installation of debian jessie on dell vostro 1014 laptop I am facing a minor nuisance. When the screensaver becomes active and I again wants to log in I am asked to enter the password. Can this be avoided? Thanks for the help.
Hi. Prudra this was not the best spot but a mod may move it...
