(SOLVED)Power management issue

[snappwrench]

I have had this issue everytime i've installed 10.10, even when i turn off power management in ubuntu desktop and kde desktop my monitor still powers down after 10min at idle. No screen savers are on, nothing is on. Saw in an earlier post that removing Hal might be the way to go but not sure. Any suggestions?

Re: Power management issue

have you tried system settings -> display -> screen saver? be sure its not set to blank screen after 10 min....

Yeah, everthing is disabled for screen savers and power management. It's the one thing i have yet to figure out all this time. Doesn't cause any problems, just bugs that i can't turn it on/off or change it.

Laptop or desktop PC? If the latter, it is possible that the monitor itself has a built-in power saving feature.

i would also double check your power management and be sure you have edit the correct profile. there are a few in there to begin with. if you have a properitary video driver you might want to check its control program and see if it has an option for that.

Never had to mess with it, every stand alone OS i've run has always overridden that feature. I guess it's true what they about always start with the simple stuff first. Thanks for the quick replies.
