Hi, I'm trying to get my screen to blank after X minutes, however, it is not. I checked the Power Management settings and I'm getting a message "The Power Management Service appears not to be running". How do I enable this? Is it powerdevil? Or some other package? I'm on a desktop machine, not a laptop if that makes a difference. Thank you.

Did you forget to run dispatch-conf?

What's that then? I just ran it but didn't know what to do. I had the screen blanking working fine previously, not sure what happened. I guess some update broke it.

That's updating config files which is often necessary after updates. Portage will tell you to do so, then you run either etc-update or dispatch-conf. And the news mentioned it as well, because many people don't read what Portage has to say.

Ok, so I ran another 'emerge -uD world' and 'etc-update' and it fixed the problem...

Great, consider marking your topic as [solved] then.
