Desktop

Hello everyone since the last update I can set the time after which the screen turns off, but the computer does not take over/save this setting anymore. Can anyone help me?

Here is my information about the system:

I found a small workaround. Via the terminal you can set the screen timeout with this command gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay <time in seconds> This overrides the settings in the GUI of the GNOME Settings.
Nevertheless, this seems to be a bug in Gnome Settings. Does anyone how to fix this?

Here is a little script for those who are struggeling with the same bug:

#!/bin/bash
read -p "How long do you want the screen to stay on? (in seconds)  " time
echo "Ok ,$time seconds"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay $time
exit
