My display turns off when I lock the screen (with ctrl+alt+l). This is pretty anoying, because when I want to unlock immediately after that I need to wait like 3 seconds until my screen turns on.

When I lock my laptop I would like to see the lock screen, I don't need my display to turn off.

Please help me to turn this screensaver off or tell where I can find the source code to fix it :)

This is a common complaint but my phone can't find the duplicate... – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jul 10 '18 at 17:41
Yeah, but there is no clear answer for that...I really would like to fix it even with chanigng the gnome internals but I have never done anything with linux or gnome source code.. – Maciej Prus Jul 10 '18 at 18:09
@VladSpirin isn't that the opposite problem? – Zanna Jul 10 '18 at 19:20
@Zanna Ok...... – Jul 10 '18 at 21:01
