Description Guido Schmidt 2016-04-19 19:55:24 UTC
This is a desktop PC with OpenSUSE 13.2 (x86_64).

Since KDE 5.6 my monitor turns off (I guess an energy saving mode) after a couple of minutes even though I have this setting disabled in systemsettings5 like I always had. (I would give you the exact name of this setting but even though I set System Settings to run in english it shows most words in my german - maybe another bug. The german name is: Energiesparmodus - Bildschirm abdunkeln)

This does not happen when I am logged into an XFCE session.
BTW this is the only session on this machine.

I tried changing the setting by enabling it and setting the time-out to 1 minute. This also does not have any effect.

So it looks like KDE is not reading/finding the setting and using a default?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to a KDE 5 session.
2. Make sure the energy/power setting for turning off the moniter after a configurable time is turned off.
3. Wait a little, i.e. watch a movie in full screen mode.

Actual Results:  
Screen turns black and monitor LED indicates a power saving mode.

Expected Results:  
Screens stays on.

Barely remember this one. No, it's working now. Thanks!
