I have the same problem, after 2 weeks still can not find a solution (((

xset -dpms

xset s off

Finally got the answer! Thankyou for your post.

Hi,

xset -dpms
xset s off

This works but does not seem to persist after reboot. As OP stated, despite disabling everything in Power Manager, the screen auto locks after 10 minutes. This seems like a bug.

Is there a way to disable this that is persistent?

have you made changes to power manager, then logged off and back in again for those changes to take affect?

this worked for me, however it doesn’t work after reboot.

go into power manager :slight_smile :slight_smile: … also use xtrlock instead , and not the system idle/sleep settings ??

Hi all,
I was struggling with the same problem,
I removed ligth-lock from the system (apt autoremove --purge light-lock), then rebooted the OS.
All seems fine now.
Hope it helps somebody.

What worked for me (on VM) was to disable screen saver as screen saver and screen lock are two different functions
