I'm trying to setup a machine to autostart at a given time, do record
something and then shutdown.
Autostarting works with:
echo `date -d 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss ' '+%s'` >
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
but this seems to work only if I put the computer in suspend mode (if I
shutdown the computer does not come back to life). However, when the computer
starts from suspend, the session is locked... and I am not there to unlock
it.
I've searched TDE's control panel without luck. Is there a way to remove the
auto-lock feature?

Delete/rename kdesktop_lock.As a side effect you wont be able to
shutdown/suspend/hibernate using tde menu.
There should be way to disable this gracefully but there is not.
P.S. The wakeup is not the only thing where autolocking is undesirable.
kdesktop_lock interferes with multiple xorg sessions/screens.

Actually the result of renaming kdesktop_lock to tdesktop_lock does not stop
me from using the tde menu (or right click) to shutdown, but it sends me back
to the login screen.
I would do it on my main computer, but it may solve my problem on the
recording computer. Thanks for this information.

why would you need a gui for recording something without human intervention
on the screensaver setup screen there is a checkbox to ask for password or
not. Doesn't this help

Because the TDE program used to record uses the GUI. Which does make sense as
watching videos at the command line seems difficult.

I don't use the screensaver. Nik mentioned kdesktop_lock as the problem.

isn't it related - lock yes|no - screensaver yes|no if it does not help kdesktop_lock shows following
options
--forcelock
--dontlock
--securedialog
--blank
--internal
Interestingly:
/opt/trinity/bin/tdesktop_lock --forcelock
locks the desktop, which seems logic.
/opt/trinity/bin/tdesktop_lock --dontlock ....
also locks the desktop!
So it really looks like the only way is to rename kdesktop_lock.
On wheezy it does make it impossible to shutdown from GUI (suspend works,
though). On Stretch it sends me back to the login screen.

What if you rename to tdesktop_lock and create an executable bash script
with content
#!/bin/bash
tdesktop_lock --dontlock
try then
killall -TERM tdesktop_lock
killall -TERM kdesktop_lock

You can create a configuration file called "power-managerrc" and enter the
option lockOnResume = false in the General section.
