Hey there,

I used to have a command run 10 seconds after the screen is locked which turned all displays off. I can’t find the option to run a command when the screen locks anymore.

In Plasma 5 I used this:

This is what it looks like in Plasma 6:

Is there another place to do this now?

    What you want is now a built in option, you can set the screen saver timeout for when the screen is locked separately from the normal timeout

      Ah, not sure how I overlooked that one.

      However, it seems to be tied to the normal screen timeout which I can’t use because KDE does not recognize all fullscreen applications correctly when playing games with a controller. I put 360 minutes as timeout for now, that should be sufficient.

      Out of interest, is the “Run command” option still available somewhere or was it removed in Plasma 6?

    You could instead

    • lock the screen after turning off display
    • change the time when the display is turned off to whatever you like

    Both where in the energy settings in plasma 5, I am pretty sure they are still there.
