Title:
screen save still active after being disabled
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On a remote machine, no keyboard or mouse connected. Set up to auto
login and start a browser in kiosk mode as a monitoring dash board for
our office.
The only way to enable this to run for the whole day is to connect a
keyboard and break out of the screen save when it first runs. After
that it will not go into the screen saver for the rest of the day.
all settings > brightness & lock >
Turn screen off when inactive for: "never"
lock : "off"
all settings > power >
suspend when inactive for : "don't suspend "
I have tried using different values for like 1 hour
all settings > brightness & lock >
Turn screen off when inactive for: "1 hour"
After 10 minutes monitor goes blank, as if "Turn screen off when
inactive: 10 min" is set.
I have tried
xset -dpms
xset s off
current xset after clean boot
xset -q
