Many people have asked how to prevent their screen from turning off when they lock it or it gets locked by the timer.

I however want my screen to turn off automatically after a set period of inactivity, but not to be locked so I don't have to enter my password every time. How can I achieve this?

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.

  • Then my screen doesn't lock - obviously. But it also never turns off, which is, as I stated, what I want to happen after a set period of inactivity
