Hi all,
I have been using Debian Stretch for a while (even before GA) and noticed something wired: when I don't touch the keyboard for a while the screen goes black but after a while even if I press any key it remaines as black. I can switch to the asci console a back to graphical environment (ALT+F1/7 keys) but I cannot unlock the black screen. The only option is to either reboot the laptop or kill the X server (with SYSRQ combination).
Screen saver is disabled.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it ?
THanks

Might be the xfce power manager settings that are blanking the screen. Can you adjust that to never blank the screen?

The theme is Adwaita Dark Xfce, I believe it came preinstalled in MX Linux.andy55 wrote:Thanks - have just changed the settings and will see what happens.
