You have been subscribed to a public bug: Recently upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and it seems like the power-saving feature in Gnome 42 does not actually turn off the screen(s) after X minutes, but just blanks them. When I manually run `xset dpms force off`, they do properly turn off and go to powersave mode.
1) Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Release: 22.04 2) gnome-settings-daemon: Installed: 42.1-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 42.1-1ubuntu2 3) In Settings -> Power -> Screen Blank, set the inactivity period to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the screens should turn off. 4) Screens go black, but remain active and consume (too much) power. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistributionChannelDescriptor: # This is the distribution channel descriptor for the OEM CDs # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor canonical-oem-somerville-bionic-amd64-20190418-59+beaver-osp1+X00 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-07-04 (667 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic" - Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20190418-12:10 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 42.1-1ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-27.28-generic 5.15.30 Tags: jammy Uname: Linux 5.15.0-27-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to jammy on 2022-04-30 (3 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dialout dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo vboxusers video wireshark _MarkForUpload: True ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed ** Tags: apport-collected jammy -- Display powersave only blanks, but does not turn off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
