Public bug reported: In previous Ubuntu versions, lightdm login screen would turn off after about 10 min. of inactivity. After upgrading to 13.10 screen remains on all the time while in lightdm login screen. In-session or in locking mode it works fine.
Lightdm login screen is run under lightdm user control. Gnome-settins look fine compared to the user's: $ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.session org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay uint32 600 org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'ubuntu' $ sudo -H -u lightdm dbus-launch --exit-with-session gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.session No protocol specified org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay uint32 600 org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'ubuntu' Session idle control seem to have changed in gsettings from the previous versions so it is more likely a regression. It is also reported elsewhere: http://askubuntu.com/questions/369230/how-to-let-screen-time-out-on-sign-in-screen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2182779 It should be considered a severe bug since many computers stay on all the time and this is burning power and pixels.
