Public bug reported:
On Xubuntu Gutsy, there is no installed tool to manage power settings.
Yet the default behavior appears to be to power off monitors after a
certain period of time, and this cannot be changed.
This was critical for my computer, since if my LCD is powered off, bad
things happen. So I need to only use a screensaver, not to power it off.
An easy fix was to install gnome-power-manager, and then in the
"screensaver settings" a button appeared to manager power settings; I
then told it to NOT power off my monitor. This seems (so far) to work.
(Note that I expected a menu entry for the power management gui tool,
but there wasn't one. There was just the button inside screensaver
preferences.)
In conclusion, perhaps Xubuntu should ship with gnome-power-manager, so
that people can alter power-saving settings. As it is, it appears that
there ARE power-saving settings (in particular, powering off monitors
after a certain time), but these are not configurable.
