I have a fresh F29 install that is hooked up to a TV to display a dashboard. I will often come in in the morning and I will see the dashboard, but as soon as I touch the mouse or the keyboard, I am logged out automatically and need to enter my user/password again to log back in.
I have verified that screen saver is set to Never. What else could be going on?

Which DE are you running? (KDE, GNOME, etc)

So, have you checked the logs? Something like this: journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell There's -b option to select specific boot. I.e. -b-1 will show you the previous boot.

I believe the entire message content + subject is really all anyone would need.
I'll make a GNOME VM and grab the setting location if somebody here doesn't post it in a few hours, I had the same issue a few months ago. GNOME is weird. Gotta think like a Mac user to figure it out.

I don't know if it still has an autologout, but it used to. I put:
set autologout=off
in my .cshrc years ago to deal with that.

I stand by my remarks, but I'm not going to argue about it. In any case, the practice of quoting context is valuable and is being lost because of HyperKitty's brokenness.

Thanks, John. Let me know if you find anything. I did find this https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/logout-automatic.html..., which I will also check. The thing is, I would expect auto-logout to actually log me out. In other words, after a period of inactivity, I would expect that the login screen will appear. What I am seeing is different--the content of the screen continues to update (as if it was not logged out) but as soon as I move the mouse, it logs me out and I see the login screen again.

Thanks for the reminder; agree that the context is helpful.
Dan,
I've been trying to reproduce this, but I can't find any setting that will actually *log out* the user, rather than just locking the session.

I didn't see any response to this. Checking the journal will tell you if it's actually a logout or a Gnome crash. You can use "sudo journalctl -r" to read the logs backwards from the current time.

Speaking of. Can you confirm that when you have log back in that your session is new, or has all your applications still open?

When I log in again, the applications I had open are no longer open. _______________________________________________
I'll assume you are logging into the normal Gnome session (wayland), please try Gnome on Xorg session instead.
The next option would be check with another DE. ie XFCE or something like that.

To close this out, after doing a dnf update and rebooting, this problem appears to have gone away. Not particularly satisfying... but the issue is no longer happening.
