[Bug 1474534] Re: Screen Energy Saving and Dim Screen do not work reliably
Well, to be fair, this is beta software, and the disclaimer is "do not use for work or production," right? I mean, that's what it was in 2000, when I used it first, and it's only gotten more beta since then, so clearly, this is expected behaviour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1474534 Title: Screen Energy Saving and Dim Screen do not work reliably To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1474534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This may have something to do with kdeconnect https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect https://forum.manjaro.org/t/kde-power-saving-not-working/12207/6 My screen switches off when Chrome browser is closed, but not when Chrome is open.

I can confirm this problem too. Stationary PC with Radeon HD6800, Kubuntu 16.04. Monitors do not turn off after certain set time. Only user session locks and goes to login screen.

[Bug 1474534] Re: Screen Energy Saving and Dim Screen do not work reliably
Really, no one else has this problem. FWIW, it's not a hardware problem. If I run: sudo sh -c 'vbetool dpms off; read ans; vbetool dpms on' Then the screen turns off and then turns back on when I hit enter. (See http://askubuntu.com/questions/62858/turn-off-monitor-using-command-line ) So, there must be a problem in some higher level piece of software . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1474534 Title: Screen Energy Saving and Dim Screen do not work reliably To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1474534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
