I've installed new linuxcnc 2.8.0 from iso of debian 10 buster.
But there after some time, screen locks and I need to enter password.
In older linux there was configuration for screen savers but here I can't find such thing.

I need to turn off screen lock and auto logout complitly on my nachine.

Hi,

Yes i know this. You can do : sudo apt-get install task-xfce-desktop
This will install some things and also the power management tool in : menu->settings->power manager.

An other way is installing a iso wich has already has this power management support and also pre installed linuxcnc + some glade libraries + qtdesigner stuff, so less work around :

The official Debian release has been updated to have power saving disabled by default, so download the official ISO again if you do not mind reinstalling it, or have a look here for the solution to the existing install

At first I think of using your method, but I remembered that PC is not connected to internet. I supposed that look for repository in internet is a little unconvinient from other PC))) So I used method of tommylight.

But as I anderstood later, I should know such terminal commands as rm and touch for removing and creating files, so I think your method would be easier )))

This is a slightly old thread I know but I just downloaded the 2.8.2-11 iso today for a fresh install and it still has the screen lock issue (and the USB/'looking for CD' install issue) I fixed both using the link above pointed to by tommylight for the screen lock and his swapping the USB drive to a new slot when the install grumbles about no media in the CD drive - Thanks tommylight, you saved me a lot of frustration!
Now I suppose I'd better read the manual and figure out how LinuxCNC works!

You are welcomed always, and sorry to burst your moment of joy but there is the 2.8.2 ISO also that has none of those issues and uses network manager instead of WiCD just in case you want to use ethernet for Mesa or Ethercat.

This worked for me:
Install: xscreensaver with command: sudo apt install xscreensaver
Run application: xscreensaver-demo
then set following: -> Display Modes -> Mode -> Disable Screen Saver
next: Display Power Management -> disable
