So I’ve set up pop os, everything went smoothly. But I have a problem - My pc is set to turn screens off after 15 mins, also to lock itself. But when it does that, my monitors shut down for a second, then start again so I can see it’s locked, then after few seconds monitors are blank but not turned off, led indicator is active and so is backlight panel.
It bothers me because I don’t want to physically turn off my monitors every time I go afk.
Can anyone tell me where to set this up? Thx
Yes I had same issue on Mint on another pc (laptop with built in monitor) so it has to be fixable. I have 2 monitors - Samsung and Asus, I don’t think they are the problem. It has to be driver or some settings I can’t find. I can see mouse cursor and black screen, sometimes it will bring OS back to Lock Screen without me interacting with mouse or keyboard.
It starts to be annoying
I think it’s a fun (hahaha not) part of the hdmi protocol. I have the same monitor combo and the same issue with the monitors. I find that turning one off fixes it (usually Samsung since my Asus monitor completely shuts down for power saving) but I also remember at least one of my distros not having this issue. Unfortunately it’s not Ubuntu which I’m on at the moment so I can’t help but either Fedora, Debian or Manjaro didn’t have the issue.
Never thought about HDMI being the issue. My new monitors are display port and have been working fine. So a HDMI bug is probably the cause
