Hey everyone.

Basically I need to do what the title says. I did have xfce4-power-manager installed and had it set there (had the setting disabled so that it wouldn't suspend after inactive), but xfce4-notifyd was creating problems with dunst which I installed and setup last night, so I removed xfce4-power-manager and xfce4-logind.

However now after a few minutes of not doing anything my PC sleeps. There must be a setting somewhere I can edit which is the same thing xfce4 uses to implement this, no? Either a file or another power manager software which will not cause problems with my dunst.

Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions!

Thanks, will install xfce4-power-manager to try this and report back :)

Edit: This seems to work. I have both a power manager and dunst working. Thanks!
