Screen Saver Stopped Working #11987

Open username227 opened 9 months ago

username227 commented 9 months ago

Distribution

Arch Linux

Package version

6.0.1

Graphics hardware in use

Nvidia GeForce 1650, AMD Radeon Vega

Frequency

Always

Bug description

I've noticed that the Screensaver no longer works. I have my computer set to lock the screen and start the screensaver after five minutes of inactivity, or upon closing the laptop. However, the computer has recently started remaining open and not going into screensaver/lock screen.

Steps to reproduce

See above

Expected behavior

Expected behavior is to lock the screen upon closing the laptop screen or after five minutes of inactivity.

Additional information

I've only started noticing this recently...perhaps after the update to 6.0.1? But I can't swear to this.

Similar 21.3 on 6.5.0-41 Screensaver activates but monitor is never put to sleep. If I force monitor to sleep (eg sleep 1 && xset dpms force standby) is does go to sleep but wakes after 15 secs (without any user activity).
