The problem returned this morning, and when I went to check the screensaver settings, once again its daemon wasn't running. I think that is the problem, and IIRC I had removed it from autostart when I was parsing some settings, thinking I didn't want a screensaver. I've turned it back on autostart, so we shall see.

Those changes I made have solved the problem. Now to find which one did the trick. But that's not crucial. Thanks everyone.

@paul1149,
Good idea. Some of these settings might be working against one another. And I'm not surprised you overlooked the Light Locker Settings. The name isn't intuitive and I just learned about it 1-2 months ago myself.
@Jerry,
No problem. Reaching out indirectly helps me, too.

Hi torreydale,
Yes, on the monitor tab I had turned the sliders all the way to "Never" Land.
Light Locker is interesting. Hadn't opened it before. So far this morning I haven't had any lockups since enabling screensaver. I'm going to leave it as-is for a while for testing. Then I'll return to this and see how it affects things.
Thanks!

@paul1149,
Also consider:
1) The Monitor tab under your Power Manager AC settings.
2) Look at your Light Locker Settings
(Menu->Settings->Light Locker Settings)

Trying something different. I *enabled* the screensaver and set it to a large delay. I also disabled power management, with Hiber and Suspend, there. This is to jog the settings. We shall see.

I must have a corruption problem here. Even unchecking that box did nothing. I fried an egg in the kitchen, took maybe 10 minutes max, and came back to a locked screen. The setting is still unchecked.

Untick the box on that screenshot, then it won't be used.

That's what I thought you meant, but I don't see how it's possible. I have radio buttons I'm dealing with. It's one or the other, unless there's a master setting that shuts them off:

To be clear, don't use suspend or hibernate, or standby or suspend. Just set it to lock screen.

I'm not quite clear on what you mean. I've just now moved the computer and monitor sliders back to "never" on the AC tab. I'm on a tower, so no battery tab. On the Extended tab I have to spec either suspend or hibernate, or standby or suspend, respectively. I have computer hibernate and monitor standby. And I've checked Lock screen. Guess I'll just watch it and see. Been too busy this evening to give it a chance to lock. Thanks.

Suspend and hibernate to this day, are troublesome on Ubuntu based distros. Just set it to lock screen on timeout, this will be very low power anyway.
