aha, a cursory look at my as well shown by hirak99 see the timeouts [x11_sync_server_dpms_settings] gpm-dpms.c:130 (06:53:15): Syncing DPMS settings enabled=1 timeouts=0 0 0
no wonder we are not able to do the same. Looking at xset's man page it says dpms flags... The dpms option allows the DPMS (Energy Star) parameters to be set. The option can take up to three numerical values, or the ‘force’ flag followed by a DPMS state. The ‘force’ flags forces the server to immediately switch to the DPMS state specified. The DPMS state can be one of ‘standby’, ‘suspend’, ‘off’, or ‘on’. When numerical values are given, they set the inactivity period (in units of seconds) before the three modes are activated. The first value given is for the ‘standby’ mode, the second is for the ‘suspend’ mode, and the third is for the ‘off’ mode. Setting these values implicitly enables the DPMS features. A value of zero disables a particular mode. -- display doesn't go to sleep after today's gnome-power-manager update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
