Installing DPMS extension on Ubuntu?
**Accidentally logged in on Ubuntu on Wayland which caused DPMS not to be enabled. My bad. **
I need to run a script in JS: exec('xset dpms force off', null);
I'm running Ubuntu 18.10 and it doesn't have DPMS enabled. Is there a way to install/enable it? Can't seem to find anything on it.
Thanks!

It should just bexset dpmsto enable it andxset -dpmsto disable. Then you can runxset -q | awk '/DPMS is/ {print $NF}'to see if it is enabled or disabled.

@Terrance If I write xset dpms it returns "server does not have extension for dpms option". xset -q returns a lot of stuff and "DPMS (Energy Star): Server does not have the DPMS Extension". Any idea of how I can install it?

Ah, I don't use Wayland as I only use Xubuntu (Xfce4) so I wasn't thinking that. Glad you figured it out. =)

I was logged in to Ubuntu on Wayland which didn't have DPMS enabled or installed. Just logged in to regular Ubuntu and everything worked.
@Terrance did come up with a solution though: sudo apt install libxcb-dpms0*
