I am using a laptop connected to an external moniter. The external moniter is primary. When I suspend, i want the display to be off till I give some other input
Currently, after suspend, it just goes to the login screen
I did try closing my laptop moniter, didn't help

#

xrandr --output DP-1-0 --primary --auto --output eDP --off

#

this is the command i use to set the external minter as primary and turn off the display of the laptop

#

go to power management

#

if u dont want lock screen to appear upon resuming from suspend, there should a thing to disable that

#

it may be in screensaver settings

#

you can also use win+p instead of CLI command

#

ok close those windows

#

press win-p so only external is functioning , then tell me when there

coarse mauve
craggy spoke
#

press win p slowly several times

#

til just external

coarse mauve
#

done

craggy spoke
#

so just external now

#

and it's with HDMI cable?

#

oh dp

coarse mauve
#

the moniter also serves as docking port for my keyboard and mouse

craggy spoke
#

that complicates things severely

#

anyway, choose 'suspend' from the logout options

#

and tell me what happens 10 seconds later

#

after not touching mouse or keybd

#

so it's a suspend problem

craggy spoke
#

can u put the mouse and keyboard to the computer's own usb ports?

#

then re-test this

coarse mauve
#

i removed both, didn't attach them to my laptop

craggy spoke
#

ok. check in monitor's own menu

coarse mauve
craggy spoke
#

#

hardware menu

coarse mauve
craggy spoke
#

#

hardware menu OF THE MONITOR

#

every tv and monitor has one

coarse mauve
craggy spoke
#

look on ur monitor . every single square millimeter of it, for a menu button

coarse mauve
craggy spoke
#

ofc

#

how do you not know this?

#

unless monitor is so crap that it only has power button and absolutely nothing else.

coarse mauve
#

found it

#

no such option

#

i found something called DDC/CI, which was on

craggy spoke
#

display data channel.

#

that tells the computer what the screen is capable of

#

idk what CI is

#

CEC /power management is something else

#

but try anyway
