xfce4-power-manager without any function

I unfortunately got the stupid idea to exchange my Intel NUC11 for an Intel NUC12 Pro.
Everything was running fine before, but now I'm in a lot of trouble with my MX Linux (Xfce).
One of them is the "power management".
I can set there - regarding the screen - what I want, NOTHING happens.
Neither does the screen go black after the set time, nor does the brightness reduce after corresponding inactivity. Resume (to RAM) does not work anyway, after reboot and "resuming from hibernate" I have a black screen.

Any suggestions from those in the know?

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Hello and welcome.

Is power manager running:

ps -ef | grep power

Try running xfce4-power-manager in debug mode:

xfce4-power-manager -q
xfce4-power-manager --debug --no-daemon

...and post back the output after an event should have happened.

Also post back:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

First of all, xfce4-power-manager isn't running. Make sure it autostarts  - Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart (make sure it has a check mark).

Secondly...

/xfce4-power-manager/presentation-mode                  true

Try turning off presentation mode - its preventing power manager actions. To do so, single-click the panel icon and disable.

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Thanks again.

It is mysterious:
xfce4-power-manager IS in autostart.

That it could be the "presentation mode", I have already suspected, but find in MX-Linux no place where I could switch that.

If you have the xfce4-power-manager plugin added to the panel, left-click the plugin icon and turn it off. Alternatively, run this command:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/presentation-mode -s false

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Okay, with this command i could switch off this presentation mode.
I never needed it and I have no idea why it was turned on now.

Now the screen also goes black after the preset time.
However, reducing the brightness during inactivity does not work.

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Can you change screen brightness at all on your laptop?

Set the timeout to as low a value as possible then run xfce4-power-manager in debug mode as above once again. Wait for the timeout to expire and then post back the debug output one more time.

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Sorry, this is NOT a laptop.
It is an Intel NUC with an external Monitor.
Mybe this feature is only for laptops?

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Can you change the backlight on the NUC?

Add the "Power Manager Plugin" to the panel (if its not already there) and left-click on it. Do you see a slider for brightness?

Also, what does the following return:

ls /sys/class/backlight

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Sorry, in Germany we have a different time zone ...

I can't find a slider for brightness in the power manager.
However, in MX-Linux there is an application "MX-Tweak" and there are settings for the brightness.
However, the slider for the backlight does not work, there are no changes.
Another slider at this point for "software (xrandr) brightness" works perfectly.

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Try this first:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/handle-brightness-keys -s true

...you may need to log out and back in again for it to take effect.

If this doesn't make a difference, you may need to add some kernel parameters for it to show only one backlight interface - but we can get to this later.

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

Thank you again for support!

The brightness buttons (F1 and F2 at my keyboard) work formally: I can see in the upper right corner how the brightness SHOULD change.
But a real change of the brightness does not take place.

Re: xfce4-power-manager without any function

In that case, you need to tell the kernel which of those two backlight interfaces is the correct one. Here is a link to the backlight page on the Arch wiki. Have a read through sections 1.1 and 1.1.1 to see if you can get your system to just display one backlight interface.
