The shutdown timeout does not change

watchdog0 · 2017-12-23 20:29:20

My file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/15-monitor.conf: https://hastebin.com/fawujezeja.vbs
I set the timeout for 2 minutes and the screen really turned off. But now as you can see it costs 20 minutes but the screen turns off after 10 minutes! I do not like it terribly, and most importantly, I have not found the instruction on how to change it. I tried searching the files on the path / usr / lib / systemd / system / but did not find anything worthwhile.How to disable the default value of 10 minutes?

"ServerFlags", not "ServerLayout"
That aside, your DE (gnome, plasma, ...) most likey overrides the values, so you'll have to either tell it to use different values or set the values at runtime using "xset dpms [standby [suspend [off]]]"

I use icewm. Now I have to put the computer on for 10 minutes to check

"xset -q" will tell you the used delays. Notice than any spurious input event (optical mouse on a stupid surface could cause this) will bump the timeout (in case it's more "randomly longer than 10 minutes" than "20 minutes")

Oh, and actually looking at the values: they're invalid. Suspend and Off should not be smaller than Standby (no idea whether "0" gets a special treatment, check your xorg log for errors)

There are no errors there, the team gives this:
Standby: 1200 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
It turns out I pointed out everything correctly. 1200 seconds = 20 minuts.
But the screen turns off exactly after 10 minutes and it's very strange, I still can not find a solution to the problem

"a timeout value of zero disables the mode"

Leaving that aside, do you maybe run any kind of screensaver and does the screensaver timeout in "xset -q" say "600"?

I already read this article http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html
The problem is solved thanks to that article, the topic is closed
