My xfce Power Manager settings should cause my display to go blank after 10 minutes. But it does not. I’ve verified that presentation mode is off. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a log that would have info on why the display never sleeps?
what about caffeine
and its settings?
caffeine
isn’t installed on this system.
Well, I was able to resolve the issue via the GUI, and so now I think there might be an obscure bug in XFCE Power Manager.
When I looked at the Power Manager Settings, this is what appeared:

Notice that the “Put to sleep after” slider is now at 11. It staggers automatically to 1 minute after the “Blank After” setting. In fact, the three sliders cascade by 1 minute once the sliders are moved:
So I think there was an obscure bug at play. All seems to be fine now.
