Hello. Would someone mind assisting me with an issue? I have searched this forum with no matching issue/solution. I did find an old discussion for Ubuntu 10.04 and for Fedora 30. Obviously, these are dated and yielded no results.
The issue is my monitor does not enter powersave mode either after reaching the configured amount of time or by entering SUPER + L. The screen does lock but the monitor remains on. I have tried settings of "10 minutes" and "Never". This started after, I believe, the Jan 8 update. The issue persists today.
I tried looking at xset -q and verified DPMS is enabled. I also looked at systemctl status upower.service which is active and running. I am not sure what else to look at. The only other thing new is I added the Pomodoro Timer extension to GNOME shell sometime at the start of January. Consequently, I also tried gsettings reset org.gnome.shell 'enabled-extensions' with no difference (still not ruling this out). For good measure, I also ran sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall with no errors or re-installation.
Any assistance to this minor quality of life issue would be greatly appreciated. I have been running Solus for past two plus years and never had any issues related to hardware...or otherwise. A testament to what a great distro this is.
