Bug#996907: xfce4-power-manager: Screen blank is active but not configurable when xfce4-power-manager is NOT installed
Package: xfce4-power-manager
Version: 4.16.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I did a miminal install of xfce, i.e. "apt-get install xfce4", which
did NOT install xfce4-power-manager.
The resulting system had screen blank configured to activate after
10 minutes, but there was no settings panel to adjust or disable
this.
After a lot of googling and trial-and-error I discovered that the
display power management settings are part of this xfce4-power-manager
package. After installing this, I was able to adjust the timeouts.
It seems to me that (1) maybe screen blank settings should be installed
as part of a default xfce4 install, and/or (2) if the screen blank
settings panel is not installed, then screen blank should be disabled
by default.
Regards, Phil.
