What display manager are you using? `systemctl show display-manager.service -pId` will tell you. KDM is the default display manager on the Fedora KDE spin, and KDM is ancient and crufty and doesn't even do power management, so I don't think you're using it? I'm pretty sure you have to either be using GDM or lightdm to even have power management on the login screen, in which case switching to KDM (`yum install kdm && systemctl enable --force kdm.service`) would be an easy workaround. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
