opened systemsettings to adjust "Energy Savings" because my monitor was not shutting down the backlight in the screen saver.

I see:

"Power Management configuration module could not be loaded. The Power Management Service appears not to be runnint. This can be solved by starting or scheduling it inside 'Startup and Shutdown'"

When opening "Startup and Shutdown", "Service Manager" group is not available. I get err msg: "Unable to contact KDED" and grayed-out options which are not selectable. All "Load-on-Demand Services" and "Startup Services" status is "Not Running".

ps: My appologies for hijacking, corrected. and: my screen saver is now blanking completely but I still have no access to "Power Management" via systemsettings and no idea which app or cl options perform same function ???? tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
