Power Management settings ignored
Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2012 7:10 am
Hello everyone, I installed Mint recently for the first time and I find it very good.
Quite everything works as it sould but I have a couple of problems. I am sorry for having not found an appropriate forum category to write this.
I'm using a Linux Mint 14 - 64bit with MATE on a HP G62 notebook.
I went in Power Management Preferences and, in the tab "On AC Power", I choose the following settings:
Put computer to sleep when inactive for: Never
Put display to sleep when inactive for: Never
Set display brightness to: 100%
Dim display when idle: NOT checked
After this (and a reboot), my monitor still goes black after 10 minutes of inactivity.
I reentered the Power Management Preferences and found the settings the way I set them so they are saved somewhere but not "active" somehow.
Except for the obvious question "How to solve it?" I was wondering: "Where are the relevant files with this options?"
Thanks in advance for your help.
