Need anyone to give me the default settings of Power Management

General Discussion

Hello guys,

I fucked up with my power manager settings while trying to disable the automatic screen lock while being on plug, but I fucked up with the settings.

Can anyone give me screenshots of his current default settings, so I can copy?

It’s really dumb I know, but thanks to anyone who will do it. System Tools > Power Manager

Not really Qubes OS specific.

(user@dom0 ~)$ sudo find / -name "*power-manager.xml*" 
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml.qubes
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml.xfce4
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml
/home/user/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml

If you remove the user config file, you will have the default values (need logout to take effect).

rm /home/user/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml
