The chrome browser, and possibly others, may keep a screen from going into power saving if a media is being played somewhere on an active page. For example, video/audio adverts that auto-play and auto-rollover can cause this.
You can manually check if your screen is able to be put into power saving by issuing an xset command in konsole:
xset dpms force suspend
The plasma settings for how long to wait can be found in:
System Settings -> Power Management -> Energy Saving

This is my message after upgrading my tumbleweed system this afternoon, 29 March. It now appears that the display does not turn off after being left for over an hour. I would appreciate any input that would tell me how to fix this. I am not a programmer, so please be specific and simple! (I don't know what the "configured period of time" is--I was relying on whatever the OS thought it ought to be--something like 20 minutes, I suspect, but I never timed it.) If there is a file I should look at, (and perhaps modify) please specify. I will post anything here if I can't figure it out.

I followed the instructions above--

And running the command on a root konsole, the screen goes black, as it should, and rolling the mouse brings it back to like. The system settings call for a ten minute blackout. I'll check that right now: (Starting 10:48 PM.) Screen came back to life in about one minute.
Anyone have a solution, please?
