OS: CENTOS 7 / Gnome 3 GUI
How do I the time that must elapse until the OS thinks that the computer is idle and blanks out the screen?
I am aware of the new Settings | Privacy | Screen Lock feature, however this feature simply prevents the screen from locking, when the screen black. I turned this feature off.
I am also aware of the setterms --powersave off command line feature. This feature prevents blanking the screen and going into power save mode.
I want to control the time. The default is about a minute or so.
With CENTOS 6.5, there was a screensaver applet that controlled the time and behavior. I am aware that GNOME 3 thought nobody in their right mind would want a screensaver, so they got rid of it. The applet, gnome-screensaver, is not possible to install, but as I read does not solve the problem.
Thoughts?
as an additional answer: Under the "Power" option within Settings area you can control the delay time in steps of: 1 min / 2 min / 3 min / 4 min / 5 min / 8 min / 10 min / 12 min / 15 min / never So found with CentOS 7 and GNOME Version 3.8.4 – codefan-BK – 2015-12-08T10:11:32.630
