Package: steam Version: 1.0.0.61-2 Severity: normal Apparently when steam is running prevents any DPMS timers to actually power down the display. I think this is might be considered a feature in some situations where the display is supposed to stay on, but for me steam keeps the display on when it is just minimized into the system tray, so there is literally nothing that steam might show me that would justify keeping the display from going into standby.
I used these steps to reproduce the problem: * Steam is not running * Run `xset dpms 0 0 5` to be able to quickly tell if dpms still works (it does at this point) * Start steam and wait for it to minimize into the system tray (dpms still works) * Open the steam library from the system tray * DPMS doesn't trigger anymore At this point DPMS doesn't trigger based on time anymore. Minimizing steam doesn't make it work again. The only way I found to make DPMS work again is to close steam completely. Apparently this only affects time based DPMS. Using `xset dpms force *` still works as expected. I'm running steam in XFCE with xmonad instead of xfwm. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (990, 'testing-debug'), (990, 'testing'), (102, 'unstable-debug'), (102, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental-debug'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages steam depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.73 ii libc6 2.29-1 ii libgl1-mesa-dri 19.1.6-1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx 19.1.6-1 ii libgpg-error0 1.36-7 ii libstdc++6 9.2.1-8 ii libudev1 242-7 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxcb-dri3-0 1.13.1-2 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.4-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1+b1 Versions of packages steam recommends: ii ca-certificates 20190110 ii fontconfig 2.13.1-2+b1 ii fonts-liberation 1:1.07.4-10 ii libxss1 1:1.2.3-1 ii mesa-vulkan-drivers 19.1.6-1 ii steam-devices 1.0.0.61-2 ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.8.8-1+b1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 348-2 Versions of packages steam suggests: ii nvidia-driver-libs-i386 430.40-2 ii nvidia-vulkan-icd 430.40-2 Versions of packages steam is related to: ii libc6 2.29-1 ii libgl1 1.1.0-1+b1 ii libgl1-mesa-dri 19.1.6-1 ii libglx-mesa0 [libglx-vendor] 19.1.6-1 ii libglx-nvidia0 [libglx-vendor] 430.40-2 ii libxcb-dri3-0 1.13.1-2 ii nvidia-driver 430.40-2 ii nvidia-driver-libs 430.40-2 ii nvidia-driver-libs-i386 430.40-2 -- debconf information: * steam/question: I AGREE * steam/license: steam/purge: steam/need-nvidia-i386: -- debsums errors found: debsums: package steam is not installed
