Screen automatically turns off

#1 Post by O'Niel »

Hi

After using my laptop with Debian 8 KDE for a few hours, my screen always automatically turns off.
I have to reopen my lit to be able to use it for a few minutes again each time.

How to fix this?
Thanks!

while you use your keyboard and/or mouse, that should not happen.
it also shouldn't happen when you watch a video with a media player.
but it CAN happen when you watch videos from your browser.
