XFCE wont keep screen on longer than ten minutes

It sounds like overkill.
If lts kernel does not work, downgrade nvidia driver and kernel files to previous version.
580.76.05 cause problems for many others as well.

yeah i’m trying the nvdia-lts with the linux-lts right now. still have about five minutes to see if issue is resolved from that.

well the lts kernel and nvidia drive have done the same thing now.

ok going to try downgrading the nvidia and see what that does now

now it wont let me downgrade keeps giving me dependency errors. I give up this apparently is not my day

24

now its doing it even with the noeveo driver (spelling) have no clue but think i’m done trying crap

This one?
sudo downgrade linux linux-headers nvidia linux-lts linux-lts-headers nvidia-lts

These must be the previous ones:

linux 6.15.9.arch1-1
linux-headers 6.15.9.arch1-1
nvidia 575.64.05-4
linux-lts 6.12.41-1
linux-lts-headers 6.12.41-1
nvidia-lts 1:575.64.05-4

yeah it the dependecy was nvidia utilities. I uninstalled it along with the linux-lts linux-lts-headers and the nvdia-open nvidia-lts I had previously uninstalled nvidia and installed open.

Now I am just on novea and it did the same. I have it off for now as I have other things to do today. So I will play with it later.

Ok just tried downgrading to the old linux kernel with the old nvidia drive now it wont boot lol. Yes I can log in to it if I press ctrl+alt+F2 so not sure what I should try now :man_shrugging:

I went ahead and upgraded back to the way it was when I started this morning. Still have the issue so I can try and see if the next update will resolve it or not. Its not my daily so I can live with it for now I suppose.

So the only thing I had to do differently was create a config file to put in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

I named the file 99-dontblank.conf with

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "BlankTime" "0"
    Option "StandbyTime" "0"
    Option "SuspendTime" "0"
EndSection

now it appears to stay on as it should. Thanks @vazicebon @MyNameIsRichard @EOS and @Gabber for the assitance.

Last night I searched your problem on my AI sidekick :grin: and funny enough, one of it suggestions was to create that config file and put that data in it…

Ofcourse i wasn’t going to reply here with such suggestions cause every1 hates AI lol right.

I was just curious about an answer since I’m on xfce too ( not EOS though ).

Anyway ,glad it’s solved. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
