Hi all, please help me figure out this weird issue I’ve been having. Any time I leave my laptop idle for a long time, when I come back to it, it’s back to the log in screen as in the laptop rebooted.

I am not sure which logs I should be looking for to figure out the source of the problem.

Here’s my system info:

    Is it possible that you’re on a different TTY? The login screen used in Fedora has some problems with using the correct TTY if you don’t use auto-login. If this happens again, try cycling through them, maybe your old session is still there.
