Hi,

Have you checked in the plugins ? Right-click on the panel and look for what is available ? Not sure there is one, but if so, it might be there. Or in Lxdecc : stands for Lxde control center. (In menu > more applications > configurations)

Merry Christmas too although it's past. Happy end of year !

Right-Click the panel and select Add/Remove panel Items. Then, in the box that comes up, click add. The first one should be Battery Monitor. Now, you can adjust it and put it wherever you like!

Sorry for my English, thanks for your help but I believe that there is no power manager in LXDE mini.

This is the similar thing in menu > more applications > configurations > Screensaver:



but do not work, with 3 minutes and the blank screen only mode the system shutsdown completely're working or not  ???

and these other options do nothing, do not work:



in short, the laptop does not have screensaver to put the screen in black, or may be suspended after some time of inactivity, and with xfce this is possible.

Merry Christmas.

I installed LXDE
Then in the screensaver window
The Display Modes tab:
   I set a screensaver to blank after 1 min
Then the Advanced tab:
   Set Standby for 2 min
  Set Suspend After to 1409 min < the max
  Set Off After to 1440 min < the max

It works - screensaver came on in 1 min - then at 2 min the screen blanked.
