Doesn't turn offThe screen never turns off. I have attempted to adjust the power settings (Settings/Power/Power Saving/Blank Screen) to 1 minute, but it seems to be over ridden some how. :/

In addition to the timeout, I would like a button (script?) that turns off the display output so my monitor auto switches to another input.

OS - Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

What I've tried so far:

I found answers for Ubuntu Server w/ no GUI, but I have a GUI.. Turn off screen Ubuntu Server on Surface Pro 4 I get the error, setterm: terminal xterm-256color does not support --blank, when running, setterm --blank force, locally from terminal. I've tried, setterm -blank 1, as well, same result.

  • Doesn't work. --> E: Unable to locate package gnome-screensaver-command I also tried screensaver apps but they only have screen saver settings (go figure) not screen off setting (they seem to assume your ubuntu screen off setting works..). – Nolan Thiessen Dec 12 '23 at 04:33
