OK I thought this issue was solved and the work around with "Kpowersave" did work but it wound up slowing down my machines.(Many thanks to rfakhrai for his help.) Since I am not satisfied with the loss in speed in order to manage power I am now back to looking for an actual fix for the power management settings not doing what you want them to do. Or should I just wait for the next release of Kubuntu which is supposed to be termed stable at the end of the month?
I have Kubuntu 9.10 installed for just a couple of weeks on 2 sony vaio's one an older laptop the second
an all in one 64 bit with the 64 bit version of Kubuntu9.10. I thought I would have the all in one do a constant slide-show of photo's for aesthetics due to its location in the room. But when I set the power management for performance and set that to do nothing after xx minutes of being Idle. it accepts the new settings when I hit accept, then shuts down the screen( or suspends to ram not sure which) after a few minutes. I found the power management functions by going to
Kmenu - System Settings - Advanced tab- Power Management
Any help would be appreciated. Also I started to play with the same settings on both laptop and the all-in-one thinking the difference might be the 64 bit version. No dice as changing the settings had no affect in either machine. Both machines still shut down the screen (or suspend to ram ) instead of leaving the screen on and the slideshow from the desktop running for all to see.
