Question

Since upgrading to OSX 10.8.2 from 10.6.x I find that when I lock the screen Adium logs out. Upon unlocking screen Adium logs back in.

It used to just set to away when screen locked and I have pushover scripts that rely on this.

How can I get it to behave the way it did before I upgraded?

Was it helpful?

Solution

That behavior is determined by the settings in the Status pane of Adium preferences. Specifically, it's determined by the "When Screen Saver is activated, set:" preference. Check to make sure that's not set to "Offline".

OTHER TIPS

I believe this is because of "Wake on Demand" feature in OSX 10.8. Details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774

To disable: Go to System Prefs -> Energy Saver, on the 'Power Adapter' page, uncheck the 'Wake for network access' box.
