Disable screen locking if external screen is connected (lemmy.ml)
 

I run Debian 12 with KDE on my laptop. It is set up, that it locks the screen after 10 mins of inactivity. And that is typically want I want. But some times I use it with an external screen like a TV over HDMI to watch some videos, and forget to overwrite the setting to not lock the screen.

Is there some way to not lock the screen when connected to an external screen (and preferably to AC) but resume the previous behavior if no HDMI connection is made?

That's gotta be the cyberpunkiest thing I've read in a while.

I regularly donate to the pi-hole project. Turning a spare raspberry pi into a pihole was one of the best things I did with a pi.

Here a link to their donation page.

You get downloads and subs with NewPipe, too. But it boils down to preference. And I prefere a open source app to begin with instead of patching something.

Based on the screenshot I assume that you used youtube premium lite (what ever this was...) on your smartphone. Therefore, here the obligatory recommendation for NewPipe. Quasi Youtube Premium as apk. It has all the features you need:

  • no ads
  • you can close the app and your videos keep running in the background
  • you can turn off the screen and your videos will continue to run in the background

There is also the fork NewPipe x SponsorBlock (link to repository) which integrates SponsorBlock into the app. (duh...) This will also skip the creator's ad blocks in the video.

The lower part of my screen is updated one frame earlier than the upper part. I was able to isolate the error to the HDMI output of my laptop. The screen or cable is not broken, as I don't get these errors with other connected devices. I am assuming it is some hardware defect. Does anyone know what it could be and how I could fix it? Here are a few pictures that show the problem: pixelfed

Solved: Ok, it seems to have been a software problem. That had to do with the sync. I have installed ubuntu on the laptop for now and everything works again. Some update seems to have shot something. I am now using a
