Ubuntu 20.04 logs me out after sitting on the lock screen

By Sarah Scott

I recently went through a routine update on my computer, and now it will log me out after being on the lock screen for a while. It takes more than a few seconds after the screen becomes totally black for it to log me out. I have it set to not suspend while on battery power, so it shouldn't be anything to do with that.

It also stops recognizing my second monitor when this happens, which doesn't happen with the lock screen. I have to reboot to get it to recognize my monitor again.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.4

Reset to default
