Re: How to stop screen/session lock?

when I close the lid the screen locks and I have to plug a external keyboard in to type the password, what a pain and it would help a lot if I can turn off screen session lock.  Anybody know how to turn it off?

Have you tried TDEPowersave -> Settings -> General (might not be exact english name as I use different locale)

there is lid close, powerbutton etc. I disable everything but powerbutton action. Then you can close lid and work on.

However I do not get the point with plug in external keyboard - you said note book - why can you not access the keyboard on your notebook - you just need to open the lid
