KDE X11 ScreenSaver SuspendScreen

KDE X11 event-script to have different screen-timeouts when session is locked vs unlocked


Table of contents


1. The Problem

By default KDE will lock the screen after the time specified in Workspace > Workspace Behaviour > Screen Locking > Lock screen automatically > After x minutes.

And the screen is turned off after the time specified in Hardware > Power Management > Energy Saving > Screen Energy Saving > Switch off after x min.

Unfortunately when the screen is locked, even when done manually using the Shortcut (by default CMD/WIN+L), the screen-timeout is still x min which i think is unnecessary (e.g. i went for lunch and lock my screen, knowing i wont be back soon).


This script aims to fix this.


2. The Fix

Adding a script to notifyrc as event makes it possible to change settings when screen-locking begins.

So after x seconds the screen will simply be forcefully turned off using xset.


3. How to install

Place the file event_screensaver to a bin-location, for a local user this is typically ~/.local/bin/ and make it executeable.

In Settings under Notifications > Applications > Configure > 'Screen Saver' > Configure Events... for event Screen locked, enable Run command and add your script-location for event_screensaver.
