[02:31] <nova> After recently dist upgrading a VM and a physical PC, both seem to blank the screen after about 5 minutes even when I disable the screensaver, Screen Lock and monitor power management.  In the case of the VM I have also tried uninstalling the xfce4-screensaver and light-locker.  Can anyone tell me what is blacking out my screen and how to prevent it?  Thank you in advance.
[02:37] <well_laid_lawn> nova:  in a terminal can you run   xset -q | grep timeout
[02:46] <nova> well_laid_lawn, it returns no results
[02:48] <nova> well_laid_lawn: which is strange because xset -q does return "timeout:  0"
[02:49] <nova> well_laid_lawn: sorry I made a typo... xset -q | grep timeout returns this:
[02:49] <nova> timeout:  0    cycle:  600
[02:50] <well_laid_lawn> well, 0 is less than 5 minutes so it must be something else. I don't now what thogh if the screensaver has been removed
[02:53] <nova> Thanks for your input just the same.
[02:53] <well_laid_lawn> you could try
[02:53] <well_laid_lawn> xset s off
[02:54] <Bashing-om> nova: 'xset dpms 0 s off' This will set it so the screensaver and power manager never kick unless you want them to.
[02:55] <nova> thank I'll try that
[02:55] <nova> Thank you*
[17:53] <xubuntu61w> Does anyone know how to get qt5ct to work for root applications like gparted, synaptic...
[18:13] <xubuntu61w> I think I just figured it out.  I have the themes installed locally for my home user.  I'll try relocating them and rebooting.  Sorry for the dumb question
