I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) in VirtualBox as well as virtualbox-guest-additions. The display resolution adapts to the size of the window as expected, but the display turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity. Thinking there was some sort of power management issue at play, I went to Power in the settings dialog:



enter image description here



There doesn't really seem to be anything there that mentions "turn off display after xxx minutes" so I assume everything is configured correctly there. Next I went to Screen and found an option there "Turn off after:".



enter image description here



Aha! I thought. Now I have found the option - but alas: even after setting it to "never" and restarting multiple times, the display still shuts off after 10 minutes.



What am I missing? What option am I overlooking?

I note in the comments section that you have turned off power management.



Possibly you have run



gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active false


Have you been playing with the alternative power management software xfce4-power-manager ?



Running xfce4-power-manager & via a terminal or xfce4-power-manager via startup applications, you can change when the monitor turns off - by default it is 10 minutes...



i.e. running xfce4-power-manager-settings



If you want gnome to be the default power management run



gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active true in a terminal.
