Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm trying to stop power management in Latest LXLE. I have tried to follow script advice from help pages, but don't know coding yet. Is there a simple GUI program I can use to stop the monitor from shutting off, and the screen lock requiring a password.
I am also having to logout from LQ numerous attempts before it completes, and sometimes I am still logged in next time I boot and go to the login page.
I installed xfce4-power-manager using Synaptic Package Manager, and under the control menu/settings there was a new entry, power manager, not 'Power Management'. ran the program and got a lovely GUI to control all my power settings... should have made that one a default install I think., so easy for newbies like myself.

yeh I should be more specific... when I logout from the LQ site, the page returns with my login details still 'logged in' each time, and only when I click the 'Go to forums Index' link, does the page return with blanks in the login box.

You're saying that the auto-complete fields have information in them after you log out, however you are logged out?
correct.... further, after the first 'are you sure you want to log out' dialog box, and I click 'ok', the next window comes back as the original sign-in page, though the 'log-out' option is still present in the field, instead of clearing the field and replacing with 'log-in' word. Think I might have logged out, because whatever link I click after that, returns with the field having 'User Name' text again, in the text box.
