Hello all ! I'd like my screen to turn off after, say, 10 minutes. But after ten minutes, I only get the wallpaper picture, which lasts until I shake the mouse, or touch the keyboard, which is annoying especially at night, because the screen remains on during all this time. Before the update, the screen turned off after the delay I specified. Is there a way to do so, please ?
Thank you !

    synth-ruiner I also double down on this in budgie system settings/display--
    where the blank screen delay is also set to never:

      synth-ruiner

      It's set to "blank" after 4 minutes, it turns blank, yes, but immediately after, the picture of the wallpaper appears.

        is auto-suspend off?
        auto screenlock off?
        auto screenlock delay off?

        or on?
        sometimes you got to play with all the variables to get what you want.
        unless this is some laptop/swap issue (guess)

        All is off, I guess; here is a screenshot of my parameters (I can't see auto screenlock delay off), and it's not a laptop. Weirdly, I have another computer and the screen goes blank without issue.

          Bouquins All is off, I guess; here is a screenshot of my parameters (I can't see auto screenlock delay off), and it's not a laptop. Weirdly, I have another computer and the screen goes blank without issue.

          you want a blank screen not a wallpaper/picture....I wonder if there are more ways to skin a cat.

          if you set your computer to sleep/hibernate (whatever you call it) after 4 minutes I wonder if there's a way to set the background manually for the suspend thing (whatever it's called) only....to a solid black picture or something?

          hope someone can confirm such a method exists?

          if you set it for blank screen, and it doesnt go to blankscreen but a wallpaper instead....then does that over-ride exist somewhere as a gsetting or dconf setting?
          there's got to be a way to make your blankscreen setting go to a blank screen.

            It sounds like something, either a program or an input device, is keeping the computer awake/the display on. It should just blank the screen otherwise.

            What kind of program could to such a thing, please ?

            Here is maybe a clue. After rebooting the computer, icons and left panel are OK:

            After the screen should go blank, and after awaking the screen, here is the desktop:

            I installed yesterday Solus Plasma, and same issue. I think my graphical card is responsible; it's a Sapphire RX 6700 XT. I'll install another distro (not Solus) to check whether another distro is able to turn my screen blank.

            And one more clue: I just installed Manjaro Budgie, and same issue. I think it comes from the graphic card.
            If somebody has an idea to solve the issue...Thank you !

            I use a TV for my monitor, I just use the TV auto-power off feature. I'm off grid, so I don't want the power hit if I'm away from desk for any significant length of time.
