Power manager keeps shutting down the display

  • 772

I'm probably missing something here. I'm using the default Ubuntu power manger, I set it up like this:

  • On AC: no screen dimming when idle, never put computer to sleep, never put display to sleep.
  • On battery: I kept the default settings.

Still, Ubuntu does whatever it likes, and after 15 min it puts the display to sleep.

Does anyone have the same problem and found a way to solve it? I'm using an Eee PC with Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop.

  1. I had the same problem, after ages of searching what might be the problem i found out that it was the screen saver. I believe it was by default set to go black after 15 minutes, it had nothing to do with the power management just go to system > screensaver to disable it

  2. Check the "Action" tab in "OnAC" tab, which sets the screen to sleep mode after 10 minutes and power off after 15 minutes.
