Thank for the comments.
Now, I remember why I turned off the screen lock at my office. Because when I logged in through remmina (from home), if the remote X terminal screen locks on, then I could not login any more into my session. I had to kill it from another session. It is why I though that when I log remotely, there is probably an environment variable which has a different value (compared to a straight login). I could test this variable through a .bashrc and decide to active or not the screen lock. It looks like some thing which makes sense to me.
Thank.

However, I would like that the lock be activated only when I login from my desk, and not when I login remotely by using remmina. It is possible to set up something ?
I don't think so. Why would there be a difference? When you're using remmina, you're still using the local desktop screen as if you were actually there.
Are you, though? Isn't that a forwarded X connection? If so, the system might not honor the screen locks and such since you're not using the local keyboard/mouse. This is just a guess, mind you.
I was assuming the typical case where you're using vino for screen sharing. In that case, it is screen-scraping the X server, so you see what is displayed on your monitor. That's why I need to remember to turn off my monitors when I leave work, so anyone walking by can't see what I'm doing. :-)
If what Patrick is doing is something different than that, then the options might be different as well. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
