View Full Version : [ubuntu] Power Management Does not Obey me.

Say if I were to be doing my math homework online, and leave the screen idle while I try to work out the problem. My laptop screen begins to dim, and then logs me out. If I'm quick enough I can quickly jiggle the mouse to keep it alive, but most of the time I don't even notice.

Now I've already clicked everything in power management for my laptop while on AC power, to keep me logged in at all times. (i.e Put display to sleep when inactive for: Never)

Still it appears not to obey me and obnoxiously log me off.

Is there a secret setting?

Seems like screen saver.

System > Preferences > Screensaver.

Yeah that was it, haha.

Thanks!
