Hi,

Enable auto lock on sleep

You need to install xss-lock. yay -S xss-lock And enable it (put this in i3 config instead of this line). https://github.com/Keyitdev/dotfiles/blob/fa1bbd450250bb7364da9449f3834a3575dd9688/config/i3/config#L33 exec --no-startup-id xss-lock --transfer-sleep-lock -- lock --nofork And REBOOT.

Change sleep time

If you want to change sleep time, you can use xset. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Display_Power_Management_Signaling#Configuration https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Session_lock#xss-lock Use xset q to check current settings.

Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  600    cycle:  600
DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling):
  Standby: 600    Suspend: 600    Off: 600
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

And use xset s 180 120 or xset dpms 10 10 10 to change it. All these changes are runtime, so if you want to save them, you have to put them in the i3 configuration or edit some configs in systemd.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-serverflags.conf

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "StandbyTime" "10"
    Option "SuspendTime" "20"
    Option "OffTime" "30"
EndSection

More info

I hope this helps, but in my personal experience xss and dpms don't always work as intended. So you may want to check out alternatives such as xautolock or something similar.
