I would like to change.my device lock delay time from a script.

any idea how to do that ? actualy i would like to turn off device lock at home using an ambience. However set-autolock-mode in mcetool does not the trick for me

update:

i think it is ok to closed obvious duplicates and orphaned questions.

i do not think it is needed to accept and close an answer after 4 ! hrs by an admin.

Hello,

Install mcetool.

mcetool --set-autolock-delay=<seconds[.fraction]&gt; <="" p=""> </seconds[.fraction]&gt;>

does not work for me. I did also use : set autolock mode and does not work too. Neither as normal user nor as root.

have you tried that lately or just checked the mcetool options ?

I just checked the mcetool options. But indeed, some options don't work.

Changing device lock timeout requires user authentication -> Automated changing would need to either accommodate that (adds complexity, is potential security hole) or bypass it altogether (direct security hole).

(and those mce things relate to "touchscreen and keypad lock" aka tklock, which is not the same thing as device lock)
