Bug Description
Now and then I have the problem, that the screen turns off after seconds of keyboard or mouse inactivity. I think that it changes with kernel versions but I'm not 100% sure that kernel version is the cause. The annoying bug is present for some time then it's gone, and after a while, the problem is back.
Two days ago following packages were installed or updated, since then the problem is there again:
Install: linux-hwe-
Upgrade: linux-headers-
Today I figured out that
xset -dpms
solves the problem but
xset s off
does not.
In gnome-control-
Power Saving: Blank Screen -> 15 minutes ( Selecting Never doesn't change anything.)
Suspend & Power Button:
Automatic Suspend: On, Delay 15 minutes
Power Button Action: Power off
