This appears fixed (in that the idle-delay is correctly set) after applying today's updates to 13.10 daily. The combobox still does defaults to showing Never.
That is, selecting "Never" now changes the idle-delay value to 0, as expected. The patch set contained updates to gnome-control-center (3.6.3-0ubuntu37) as well as gnome-settings-daemon (3.8.5-0ubuntu3). None of the changes stand out as likely candidates, so I'm unable to explain what fixed the issue for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125011 Title: screen save still active after being disabled Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On a remote machine, no keyboard or mouse connected. Set up to auto login and start a browser in kiosk mode as a monitoring dash board for our office. The only way to enable this to run for the whole day is to connect a keyboard and break out of the screen save when it first runs. After that it will not go into the screen saver for the rest of the day. all settings > brightness & lock > Turn screen off when inactive for: "never" lock : "off" all settings > power > suspend when inactive for : "don't suspend " I have tried using different values for like 1 hour all settings > brightness & lock > Turn screen off when inactive for: "1 hour" After 10 minutes monitor goes blank, as if "Turn screen off when inactive: 10 min" is set.
