I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I’d like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.
I don’t know if this fits your use case (you didn’t describe what you want to achieve in detail), but commands that can possible help if the screen did lock (or turn off):
- Unlock the lockscreen:
loginctl unlock-screen
- Turn on the screen:
kscreen-doctor --dpms on
Wasn’t that. I want to keep the screen on. No sleep, no lockscreen, no blackscreen, etc.
- Unlock the lockscreen:
There is
kde-inhibit --screenSaver <command>
provided by KDE.But these days, I would just recommend everyone to use
systemd-inhibit --what=idle --why=<because> --who=<myself> <command>
instead. Works across desktops and does the same thing.What should I put in the
<command>
part?
Not KDE but might be similar: For the MATE desktop it is
mate-screensaver-command --inhibit
. I would expect something similar for KDE.@dbx12 @unknowing8343 you can also use the battery applet in your task bar!
