Mageia 9 xfce - Change lockscreen timeout

Postby marker » Sep 18th, '24, 21:21

Hi,
I loaded Mageia 9 plasma, gnome, and xfce as VMs in Virtual Box.
For xfce, I can't seem to find the lockscreen timeout or power settings.
Please let me know where they are found.
Thanks!

Hi there,
both are under Settings > Hardware > Power Manager.

Thanks. I had to load the Power Manager
in the Mageia Control Center under Software Management:
“xfce4-power-manager” (A power manager for Xfce)
Only then did it show up under Settings (search for "po")
FYI - This is the only version of Mageia where it was not loaded with the original installation. Thanks again!

Not sure what you loaded in Virtual Box, but power manager is present in the XFCE live media.
