Screen turns off and locks

Even when i turn off all options by going to power manager and then display
Then lowering the three options to never

Screen still power off after some time and locks
The options doesn't work

This is a huge bug from what i witnessed
The settings doesn't seem to work

Hope to get an answer :slight_smile:

You haven't stated which ISO version you installed. Please provide some actual command outputs identifying your installation. No pictures please. Read the wiki for details on how to provide proper bug reports.

You haven't stated if this is a fresh install or if this bug occurred after an update. Does this bug occur on alternate DE's in the live environment?

Or you have to understand the logic… Please, read this and maybe Disable Display PM with the On/Off switch.
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/preferences#display

Check journal for errors.

journalctl -b -p3 --no-pager --no-hostname

its xfce as i added the tag and it seem to occur from the time of install
tried kde first and it didn't had this problem but had to change de cause for some reason after latest kde update,mounted drive via rclone seems to lag.

The screenshots don’t show what you say.
There is also Plugged in.
But please, don’t post images.
Your log has no errors. So it seems you have to find the proper combination for what you are trying to accomplish.
Try more combinations. I can’t fix it from here (yet). :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I have the same problem i will try to run this command in Terminal and see if it works.
This command did not work on GARUDA xfce when the computer sleeps it locks and asks for password. No password was set.

Welcome :slight_smile:
Set password or disable sleep lock.

Just closed.
