# 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`.
