#245026 — Screen not blanking

Sending this message to both groups:

----------  Forwarded Message  ----------

Subject: Screen not blanking
Date: Saturday 05 February 2022, 03:13:19 pm
From: "c. marlow" <tde@cwm030.com>
To: users@trinitydesktop.org

Fresh install of Debian 11 ( as of yesterday) 
Trinity Desktop 14

My screen is not going to sleep.... Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. 

For instance:

I took a nap earlier... The password box said the session was locked at 2:01 
PM CST. At 3:00 the screen was still on!!

Also when the screen does turn off, it takes WAYYYYYYYYY over the time that I 
have it set for to blank off and turn off the screen. I have it set for:

25 for screensaver

26 for display standby

26 for display suspend

26 min to power off the screen.


Sometimes its almost or right at an hour before the screen blanks off. 


I didn't have this problem with Gnome DE on Debian. 


Thanks,
Chris

Just a thought. Make sure the time zone and  localization settings are
_really_ the same as you use on other Debian installations. And same as you
are expecting.

I'm not using any screensavers these days (for no particular reason),
but when I did have them installed, I've also experienced similar
conflicts. I can't remember if I actually fixed it, seems like it at
least became more bearable, when I went into Settings and played
around there:

Applications (desktop menu) > Settings > Power Manager

Multiple tabs there seem to allow for potential conflict.

That's under XFCE4, by the way. Other desktop environments like
Trinity will hopefully have their own similar user-friendly features.

Afterthought based on the power management potential for conflict: Are
there any possibly related warning or error messages showing up via
e.g. dmesg?
