[01:42] <roasted> hi friends
[01:42] <roasted> anybody having issues with their screen timing out after x-minutes? About 90% of the time what I set it to in either dconf (idle-delay) or in system settings, it doesn't respond and the screen just stays awake full time.
[01:49] <oerheks> systemsettings > power setting perhaps?
[01:58] <roasted> oerheks: been there
[01:59] <roasted> oerheks: says 1 minute. wait 1 minute. most of the time, nothing.
[01:59] <roasted> change it to 5 minutes, wait 5 minutes, most of the time - nothing.
[01:59] <roasted> every once in a while if I change it in dconf, suddenly it works once, but won't work again
[01:59] <roasted> my wife and I have identical laptops with 17.04 UG installed, and still I can't wrap my head around it .Her laptop works flawlessly.
[02:01] <jbicha> roasted: do you happen to have Unity or any other desktops installed?
[02:12] <roasted> jbicha: no
[02:13] <roasted> jbicha: when wife and I got brand new laptops, the unity news broke, so we decided to get in on a fresh install of the latest gnome and run with that until the LTS lands, so we're on 17.04 straight from an Ubuntu Gnome ISO.
[02:13] <jbicha> it sounds like you just need to switch laptops with her when she's not looking

[02:14] <roasted> ha, I could. :P
[02:14] <roasted> I'm just not seeing why when I make system settings>power changes and then check dconf, dconf yields exactly what I put in system settings -- but often doesn't honor it.
[02:15] <jbicha> are both or just one of you using GNOME on Wayland?
[02:21] <roasted> both are using Gnome, both are using X
[02:25] <jbicha> I don't know
[02:25] <roasted> I nuked .config/dconf/user but that made no difference. Might just have to nuke all .config .gnome etc stuff and see.
[02:25] <roasted> I'll create a 2nd user here and see how that does. Didn't try that yet.
[02:35] <roasted> oh my, I thought we were on to something there.
[02:35] <roasted> screen started dimming! I got all excited! and it went blank! and then immediately lit up as if I just hit a keystroke... and I didn't touch it at all...
