The monitor of my workstation doesn't go into power save mode when the login screen is on it (gdm). It goes into power save mode when I'm logged in with the energy saving setting configured in the control panel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the machine 2. Gdm is shown 3. Wait Actual results: Nothing, the monitor remains powered on Expected results: The monitor goes into power saving mode after a time Additional info: This worked in F19
and I updated from F19 with fedup, if it is relevant
This may be relevant. I rebooted the computer during the night. These messages appear in the journal for the user gdm a few minutes after the reboot and there is nothing after this until the next morning when I login. gnome-session[1850]: (gnome-shell:2007): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: StatusChanged: TypeError: this._dialog.cancel is not a function gnome-session[1850]: ScreenShield<._maybeCancelDialog@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/screenShield.js:640 gnome-session[1850]: wrapper@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/lang.js:213 gnome-session[1850]: ScreenShield<._onStatusChanged@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/screenShield.js:816 gnome-session[1850]: wrapper@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/lang.js:213 gnome-session[1850]: ScreenShield<._init/<@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/screenShield.js:537 gnome-session[1850]: _emit@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/signals.js:124 gnome-session[1850]: _convertToNativeSignal@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/overrides/Gio.js:130
I have installed F20 Beta in a virtual machine. I get the same errors.
Seeing the same thing. Rebooted remotely, came in, monitor was on and sitting at gdm login prompt.
The bug is also happening in GA release. With upgrade and fresh install https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045934
Really? no response on either report? 1027700 1045934
Did fedup from 19 to 20 on two systems. I am running nVidia drivers using akmod (as opposed to directly installing from nVidia's site). I see the above non-power-down behavior in GDM in Fed 20. Power-down worked in 19.
The patch in this GNOME bug fixes the problem for me. Hopefully it will be in a gdm update soon.

I confirm that this fix works for me and indeed solves the issue of power save mode. On top of that, the login screen now shows again which user is already logged in (by a white shade under the name) as it did before (this was gone after fedup to Fedora 20). Thank you!

Oddly enough, after the update I have consistent look-ups on an old machine (a dell GX280) I tried disabling powersave for gdm (via dconf), but there have not been any improvements. If gdm is disabled, everything works nicely; likewise, if a user is logged in on the console (and the screensaver is disabled) the computer does not look up. This is most puzzling. The video card is as follows: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV370 [Radeon X300]
Incidentally, reverting the change advised by Maurice prevents the problem...
