Something like
setterm -powersave=powerdown -powerdown=15 -store
ought to do it, probably right whenever/wherever a VT is activated.
tho when i try that command i get
setterm: cannot (un)set powersave mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
is that the problem, something lacking in a device driver or whatever?
or does the HP EliteDesk Pro 800 G1 SFF actually lack dpms energy star features? seems dubious that it would.
or is it just a case of finger pointing? ubuntu saying systemd should do it, systemd saying getty should do it?
whatever, i shouldn't walk up to a server terminal that's had nobody there for hours and hours and see it's display still burning away, right?

it's simple. it's easy. let's get our servers being good energy star citizens shall we?
if a VT is running X at all, whether that's running sddm and never logged in, or sddm and logged-in, or not running sddm and simply logged-in and running X started with startx, that VT will timeout and powerdown. so far so good.
but a VT that's either running getty, or logged in and just running bash, will stay powered up and blazing away forever, whether it's ubuntu server 20.04, lubuntu 20.04, or centos 8.
so probably RHEL 8 too, so probably most servers, aren't being good energy star citizens! boo!
the util-linux package is used by both centos 8 and ubuntu 20.04, and contains both getty and setterm.
thus getty seems to me to be the sensible place to call:
setterm -powersave=powerdown -powerdown=15 -store
such that a VT running getty, or logged in and running bash, would then timeout and powerdown.

as of xenial, non-X VTs timed out and powered down even if nobody ever logged in. but that's no longer true in bionic and focal.
if a VT is running X at all, whether that's running sddm and never logged in, or sddm and logged-in, or not running sddm and simply logged-in and running X started with startx, that VT will timeout and powerdown, even on bionic and focal. no problem there.
but a VT that's either running getty, or logged in and just running bash, will stay powered up and blazing away forever, if it's ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04, server or lubuntu. or centos 8.
so probably RHEL 8 too, so probably most servers, aren't being good energy star citizens anymore. something happened since xenial.
the util-linux package is used by both centos 8 and ubuntu 20.04, and contains both getty and setterm.
probably getty would be the place, that either used to call, or should now call:
setterm -term=linux -powersave=powerdown -powerdown=15 -store>/dev/tty0</dev/tty0
after giving that command, a VT running getty, or logged in and running bash, will then timeout and powerdown. i wonder why it's not happening anymore?
