OK, how about this one?
xset s noblank -dpms
Edit: It could have something to do with activities settings if you have more than one. So, try setting power management for each one in the same way although I see no difference when I add one myself. Except for the odd messages that power management is working with limited functionality due to something not being properly installed etc.Ok, got it: Ashes come from burning.Comment

Finally! I have caught one bandolero that turns DMPS on beyond any doubt. It is... Muon Package Manager...Ok, got it: Ashes come from burning.Comment

There are two problems here, not sure if they are related.
1. DMPS turns on and off as it pleases
2. Power management is completely, 100% gone
The DMPS problem is annoying, but its easy to deal with. The power management thing is driving me crazy. Im going to be doing a fresh install soon as that seems to be the only fix for this....Comment

not sure if this is connected, but I thought my power saving setting was also doing that, I set it to 120mins and my screen still went to black in 10 mins, the problem was the screensaver was set to blank the screen in 10 mins. So if you haven't check that maybe set the screen saver to 60 mins and see. worked for me.Comment

I dont have a screensaver program. Also, if I set the power management to turn off the screen in one minute, it still turns it off in ten. No matter what I do, it turns off in ten minutes.Originally posted by bubblecruntz View PostComment

Read the entire thread, and I don't see where you have told us what the monitor/display unit is. Is it an external monitor, or are we talking about a laptop display? If the former, what brand/model? Some monitors have their own power management 'built in'.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Reboot and from the grub menu chose "Memtest86+". Let it run to 100% and see if your RAM is OK."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

Dont think its a monitor problem as power management worked fine before and still works fine in a new profile.Originally posted by Snowhog View Post
Monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster B2230.

That it works fine in a new profile is telling. It indicates that there is a configuration 'problem' within you existing user profile. You can open a console and rename your .kde directory (say, to .kdeold) and then logout/reboot. When you log back in, the .kde directory will be recreated. It won't have any of your customization's, but you can then copy from .kdeold into the new .kde, those directories/files one at a time, with a logout/login to see which one causes the problem to re-appear. A slow process, but...Originally posted by whatthefunk View Post
Another thought. What is in /tmp/kde-yourusername?Windows no longer obstructs my view.

What is more interesting is that a new user profile works fine until I log out and log in again. Then it is broken, just like in my main profile. So I really dont know whats going on.Originally posted by Snowhog View Post
Ill get back to you on /tmp/kde-username..Comment
