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 Michael On Monday 30 March 2020, Doug McGarrett wrote:

Hi, with TW and Plasma i experience currently the problem that the display does not turn off after the configured period of time (in system settings). Anybody else with the same problem?

I see that once in a while, but not consistently. I'd say once every week or so. But then activating the computer by using it for something, and then leaving it, it will turn off as it should. --doug
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.
