I want my Lock Screen to stay active for longer periods of time, for example say 15-20 minutes. My lock screen gets turned off automatically after a minute of inactivity. I have tried to change the timeout settings through the control panel but there is no "Console lock display off timeout" option under the "Display" item. Please tell how can I change the relevant settings to solve the problem.
