Public bug reported: Fresh up-to-date Xubuntu 21.04 install.
In Settings: Disabled screen saver Disabled display power manager Expected result: Screen remains on forever Actual result: Screen is turned off after about 5 minutes(?) Googling very hard suggested "xset s off" as a solution in a thread dating back to 2012. Little bit more investigating showed that Xfce screen saver changes "xset s" params - they reflect the timeout specified in Settings. But when you turn off the Xfce's screen saver, it doesn't do 'xset s off' - it resets it back to defaults (on, 300 seconds). This behavior is just plain wrong. ** Affects: xfce4-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931778 Title: Display goes blank/off regardless To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-screensaver/+bug/1931778/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
