--- Comment #41 from Giacomo Lozito <giacomo.loz...@gmail.com> --- > On that note, perhaps run a quick test with powerdevil stopped (i.e. > `systemctl stop --user plasma-powerdevil.service`) to confirm that the DPMS > action is actually responsible for this? Screen stays on with powerdevil > stopped and turns blank with powerdevil running, yes? Just done this test. The screen still goes blank as soon as I activate screen lock, even with powerdevil off, and obviously no powerdevil-related log lines appearing in journalctl. > If you're not seeing those, I have to wonder if perhaps some other component > is independently turning off the screen that's unrelated to PowerDevil. There is an important detail here, which I reported incorrectly in my previous message, sorry. When I activate the screen lock, the screen goes blank, but not off (meaning that I can still see the screen backlight on, and the mouse cursor is visible if I move it). If I then press Esc, it goes off. If I press it again, the screen turns on (with nothing displayed, but the backlight is on) for a moment, then back off. Based on logs, I think you are right on Powerdevil is not turning the screen off. But something is causing the screen lock not to be displayed (as if its window wasn't drawn?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
