    Video blanking every 10 minutes

    I have tried using the power settings GUI but I don't think the system is even paying attention to my settings. Can I do this via the CML and how? I hope this gets fixed in 19.10. FYI I tried the search engine but it failed me.

    What does xset q say in a konsole?

    My 19.04 says (trimmed)
    Code:
    Screen Saver:
    prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
    timeout:  0    cycle:  600
    ...
    DPMS (Energy Star):
    Standby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 0
    DPMS is Disabled
    In system settings, screen energy saving is set to 30 min, but I suspect the 600, presumably 10 minutes, applies; I'll have to check it out when I can leave the computer for a while.

    There may be firmware (aka BIOS or start up) settings, perhaps called ACPI that are relevant on your hardware.

      The same as yours.
      I will reboot and check the firmware.

        It seems to be working now so maybe something got messed up and when I rebooted to check the firmware it must have gotten fixed. I use muon to update rather than Discover since Discover keeps getting bugged. Maybe they fixed that since the last time I checked but usually discover gets bugged every few months. Unfortunatly it's always a guessing game after an update via muon as I never know for sure when a reboot is needed or if it's just nonsystem updates, so sometimes things get messed up until I relize or guess that a reboot is needed.
