Bug ID: 357456 Summary: Power management should allow both locking and blanking screen Product: Powerdevil Version: 5.5.2 Platform: openSUSE RPMs OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: plasma-de...@kde.org Reporter: r...@alum.mit.edu The energy saving settings offers various options for what to do when the laptop lid is closed (nothing, suspend, hibernate, shut down, blank, lock). Unfortunately, it offers no option to both lock the screen and blank it. Therefore, if I want to lock the screen when I close the lid, it leaves the screen powered up even though that's completely useless. The only way to both lock and blank the screen when closing the lid is to set it to blank and manually lock the screen prior to closing it. Solutions would include always blanking the laptop screen when closing the lid (on the grounds that the laptop screen is of no use when the lid is closed -- the blanking wouldn't be performed on an external monitor) or offering an additional option. IIRC I reported this against KDE4 but it was closed will not fix (against KDE4) when KDE5 was released. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A -- this is an RFE.
