#235227 — How do I disable display power management on bullseye?

Dear all,

I've got an Intel NUC10i3FNH on which I've done a fresh install of 
buster and then upgraded to bullseye.  After exactly five minutes of 
inactivity, the display (connected via HDMI) fades to black and then 
shortly thereafter shuts off completely.  How can I inhibit this 
behaviour?  I need the monitor to remain on all the time.

Here are some things I've tried so far:

1) Disable idle activation for my user account:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false

2) Disable sleep for my user account:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power 
sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power 
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0

3) Disable sleep for the login manager:

# cat << EOF > /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout
sleep-inactive-ac-type='nothing'
EOF

4) Disable sleep for the X server globally:

# cat << EOF > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf.d
Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "BlankTime" "0"
     Option "StandbyTime" "0"
     Option "SuspendTime" "0"
     Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
EOF

5) Disable sleep for the current X session:

$ xset s off s noblank s 0 0 s noexpose


None of these measures have stopped the screen from blanking and 
eventually shutting off altogether after five minutes.  What else should 
I be doing?

When I run xset q, the relevant output is as follows:

Screen Saver:
   prefer blanking:  no    allow exposures:  yes
   timeout:  0    cycle:  0
DPMS (Energy Star):
   Server does not have the DPMS Extension

Regards,
Tristan

Hello,

from http://blog.tordeu.com/?p=292 , perhaps this would do:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0

By the way, by default nowadays, Gnome runs on Wayland, not on Xorg, so 
unless you specifically launch Gnome on Xorg, your Xorg settings will 
have no effects, I suppose

That seems to have done the trick; thanks!

Good to know.
