| lts | Chimaera is at 3.9 | 07:41 |
| systemdlete | I see it is already at 3.9 | 07:41 |

| drdozer | hi - I could do with a hand fixing some minor glitches on my new devuan + plasma install | 19:45 |
| drdozer | this is my first time with devuan, so I'm a little bit lost | 19:45 |
| drdozer | the first issue I have is that I've told the power settings in plasma to turn off my monitors after 20 min of inactivity but my monitors don't turn off | 19:48 |
| onefang | drdozer: would you have any SDL programs running when your monitors fail to tur noff? I had that problem with xscreensaver until I discovered they disable that, and there's an envirenment variable you can set that tells SDL to not do that. | 20:21 |
| onefang | export SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 | 20:22 |
| onefang | The symptom was the screens would blank, but the monitors would not turn off. | 20:22 |
| onefang | I'm supposed to be sleeping, but I wasn't falling asleep. Much like our monitors. lol | 20:23 |
| drdozer | sorry - got called away for kid bedtimes | 20:40 |
| drdozer | the screensaver comes on as expected, and the session locks as expected - it is just the monitors going to sleep after 20 min of inactivity that doesn't happen | 20:41 |
| drdozer | I have virtually nothing running as this is an essentially clean install but with my old home directory | 20:42 |
| fsmithred | does using old home directory include using old home configs? | 20:50 |
| drdozer | yes - I am happy to try destroying some of them if you think that may help | 20:51 |
| fsmithred | it might, if you get the right one. | 20:51 |
| drdozer | some hint as to which one would be appreciated | 20:51 |
| fsmithred | I don't know anything about where plasma keeps stuff. | 20:51 |
| fsmithred | but you might compare what you have to what is either in /etc/xdg or /usr/share/plasma-something | 20:52 |
| drdozer | perhaps `~/.config/plasma-workspace` | 20:53 |
| fsmithred | there are default config files somewhere, and they don't get used if you have a same-name file in your home | 20:53 |
| drdozer | nope - that plasma folder is all empty | 20:53 |
| fsmithred | and if you don't have a same-name file, they may get copied to your home when you make changes to settings, so that it can save your settings | 20:53 |
| fsmithred | and sometimes the content of the default config file changes from one release to the next | 20:54 |
| fsmithred | I would expect something in ~/.config/plasma... (or kde...) | 20:55 |
| fsmithred | or maybe ~/.kde | 20:55 |
| fsmithred | I even have one of those, and I'm running xfce | 20:56 |
| drdozer | ok, I'm resorting to grepping my home directory tree for any files containing the word "energy" | 21:00 |
| fsmithred | wow | 21:01 |
| fsmithred | anything in ~/.kde/share/config? | 21:01 |
| drdozer | nothing | 21:01 |
| drdozer | I'll ask in #kde as it seems it may be more their thing | 21:03 |
| fsmithred | does kde use its own screensaver? | 21:04 |
| fsmithred | or is it using xscreensaver? | 21:04 |
| drdozer | no, it's not xscreensaver | 21:09 |
| fsmithred | I was wondering if two could be running. Also, check for conflicts between screensaver and power-manager settings. | 21:10 |
| drdozer | oh - it's just done through the lockscreen I think | 21:10 |
| drdozer | yeah - the screen locking setting is just paging through my wallpapers while it is locked | 21:11 |
| drdozer | the "battery and brightness" widget has a red x through it, which is suspicious | 21:25 |
