Hi,

i have to bring in realtek r8125 driver for my odroidH2+, so i am working my way trough the build steps… stepbystep.

then she logged me out on tty1, while working on tty2. After logging out, even tty2 was getting buggy, and logging in was impossible

So how to disable autologout?

Cheers  
nj

ah… a timeout

`export TMOUT=0`

…or

`unset TMOUT`

edited .bashrc to disable console logout timeout…
