Something kills my screens
My screen sessions are getting killed when I log out. How can I prevent this?
I have already set:
KillUserProcesses=no
in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. When I log back in, I get the "wipe" option in screen. This problem is made quite apparent by another bug which forcibly logs me out every time I turn off the monitor.

I don't know if this works on 17.10 but on 18.04 I had the same issue. It seems to be because of changes on logind cleaning up processes (preventing any user session process persisting). Apparently KillUserProcesses=no is the default in 18.04 (according to the comments in /etc/systemd/logind.conf) so instead I added my user to the KillExcludeUsers list:
KillExcludeUsers=root YOUR_USERNAME
Next I ran the command:
sudo loginctl enable-linger YOUR_USERNAME
and finally rebooted. After that my screen session would persist after a detach.

The second line fixed it for me, thanks! I thinkKillUserProcesses=nodoes the same asKillExcludeUsers=root YOUR_USERNAME, but it's a bit more blunt solution.
