What desktop environment is this machine using?
I don't understand the question
Debian is the OS. But the question here about sleep mode and logging in automatically are about the desktop environment that is running on top of Debian. Each desktop environment can be pretty unique so we have to know that to know where settings for it might be. For example in the Windows world... DOS 8 was the OS and Windows 98 was the desktop environment. As you can imagine, the majority of settings were part of the desktop environment, not the OS.
I was able to find the suspend setting under Main Menu>System Tools>Administration>System Settings. I can't figure out the "login w/o password" part.
I honestly don't know how to narrow down what you're using. I never use GUI's. You may want to look for some of the common GUI's:
cd /etc/
ls -l -
cat /etc/*releaseCould give you details on what you are running.

I don't understand the question
Gnome, Unity, etc
How can I tell? I have no idea where to find that.
Normally it says when you go to log in. Can you log in now? What does it look like? Generally they are easy to eyeball.
That would be Gnome 3.

Sweet, that's modern and we can get that figured out then.

As you've probably already done, uncheck:
"lock screen when screen saver is activated"
in the System->Preferences->Screen Saver menu. -
Type gconf-editor in a terminal. Under apps/gnome-power-manager/locks check:
"use_screensaver_settings". -
If still asked for password, you can (also in gconf-editor) go to desktop/gnome/lockdown and check:
"disable_lock_screen"

-
First try the Lock/Unlock button in System Settings -> Personal -> Screen (suggested by brallan, below).
-
If this doesn't work, try the command
Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'true'

This is the file that needs to be edited:
/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf
-
In that file you should see this:
# AutomaticLoginEnabled = true # AutomaticLogin = userJust remove the hashtags from the beginning of those two lines to uncomment them.

AutomaticLoginEnable = true AutomaticLogin = user1 -
Yup, then change "user1" to be the username of the user you want to be automatically logged in.

From what I can tell, yes it worked. That's both the no sleep and no login password required.
