Same issue occurs.

I see the same issue, but without installing the nvidia driver. I have Trusty Tahr installed on an older machine with AMD/ATI video.

To recreate:
1. Set "Switch of display after" to "Never"
2. Logout
3. "Switch of display after" will be set to 1 minute, 10 minutes or 120 minutes.

Setting seems to be randomly set after log. I suspect the setting is simply not being saved or reloaded properly. Or it is being set to some random default value. I suspect problem independent of the hardware.

For me this is a problem, since once the display switches off, I can't wake it up again. Seems to be an issue between the monitor model and graphics interface. I have seen this happen before.

Unfortunately, my solution was to uninstall Light Locker for now and install the xscreensaver instead.

Is the screen blank setting still an issue for you? Please confirm with the latest release.

(Should be 1.2.1-0ubuntu1)

@Sean - I would if I was still using 14.04 ;)

[Sean Davis (bluesabre)]

@bugssoren - Are you able to verify if this is still an issue for you?
