gnome-power-manager in Stretch

[rousou]

Hi all!
I'm having trouble with the monitor power saving.

I've seen that gnome-power-manager is now integrated in the gnome-control-center, in wich i can select the "energy" icon.
In the "energy" panel there is "power saving" -> "black screen" and i have selected two minutes, but it nevers go in function.


How can i make it work?


Thank you!

Is this a vanilla install of Stretch? You haven't changed or added anything? Any messages at boot especially re video drivers? Some system details perhaps?

Vanilla? Do you mean a fresh install? No it is an upgrade from Lenny.
I also switched from XFCE to Gnome, and i think the problem might be here.

The system runs at 64bit on an Intel 2600k also onto it's internal video card. I have no idea of what can be useful to know, but i can check if asked!

Jessie, surely? Lenny was almost a decade ago, I think.

XFCE and Gnome is what vanilla isn't, ie ordinary, and I think you may be right.

If I am not mistaken, XFCE comes with LightDM and Gnome Power needs GDM- you may need to install that.
