Disable power management in KDE by command

Support KDE Plasma
1

Greetings,

Is it possible to disable power management via command? The problem is no matter what after 10 min. the power management set my screen black and I’m confronted with password screen when moving the mouse. Could it be because I have disable TLP?

I think under ‘energy saving’ you can disable ‘screen energy saving’ and ‘suspend session after 10 min’.

I disabled them - when I leave the desktop it’ll keep running if I don’t hit ‘sleep’ which will sleep for 8 hours and then hibernate.

That’s the problem. Whatever I set in energy saving enable/disabling my screen goes out after 10 min. inactive.
