I restarted E right now to give it a chance to reset its own Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 6 cycle: 0 DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 16 Suspend: 17 Off: 18 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On nothing happens after 6 seconds. > Any axny x client can set screensaver timeout so beware what other > apps/tools/services you run. Can E reset it later, or I need to restart it like I did?

Yes, I understand this. Bummer that so many apps can go and mess with those settings without going through E Once an app does this, is there a way to override it, or have X split a list of apps that are blocking blanking? so yes, I killed all my chromes, and now it works. Restarted synergys, and it still works. found this but the python code is too old, couldn't get it to work. https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromium/comments/8hwibt/any_way_to_prevent_chrome_from_inhibiting/ see https://github.com/jnerin/dbus-listen-inhibit/issues/2 also https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=931235 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1600622 mentions trying this, but it doesn't work either sauron:~$ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.SessionManager /org/gnome/SessionManager org.gnome.SessionManager.GetInhibitorsmethod Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service fi Now, as I write this, I restarted one chrome, display blank stopped working, killed it and display blank is still not working even after restarting E :( Is there anything E can do to help find the apps doing bad things, and override them if possible?
