My old MacBook should be used as a home server. How can i activate a display sleep on the console. There is no X installed. It's the first time I'm using a cli only installation.
At the moment there is a 17.x version installed, I want to upgrade it to 18.4 if I can solve the display problem. I don't need the "light" in my network rack :-)
I don't know how to start a search for this topic because it's quite special with a Notebook :-)

Old Ubuntu versions. This may still work with 17.xx
Seek for this line in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"You may add the option consoleblank=1
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash consoleblank=1"OR
Try setterm --help | grep power to find the powersave and powerdown options. You'll find a way to set a 'suspend' delay.
