Hello,
Since upgrading to 13.10 I'm having an issue with the display no longer turning off after inactive for x amount of time. I can set the time in the Brightness and Lock settings to anything, even as small as 1 minute, and the screen will not blank after that amount of time.
I can get the screen to blank via
and the screen will turn off after 10 seconds, but after a few minutes, checking the xset settings shows that the timeout is changed to 0. I remember previously when I had upgraded to 13.04 that the screen was blanking after 10 minutes, regardless that I had set the Brightness and Lock to longer than 10 minutes, because the xset timeout defaulted to 600, so I had added a startup application containing justCode:xset s 10
And things worked as they should using the brightness and lock setting. So now I've tried disabling that script and adding aCode:xset s off
to get it to turn off after an hour, and if I check the settings immediately upon logging in, the timeout is 3600, but it doesn't stick, and after a few minutes, something changes it to 0.Code:xset s 3600
So basically that's the extent of my knowledge on the issue and I don't know what else to check or do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
