Debian :: Screensaver Goes On When It Is Disabled

Aug 26, 2011

I have this strange problem with screensaver (in fact i dont know if it is the problem, but it seems to be), i describe the problem next:I have a computer with debian squeeze installed. I use this computer only as a dumb terminal for showing information about companies, this means that it have no mouse nor keyboard connected to it. I configure autologin for a not-provileged user and autorun one app.

I disabled the screen saver for obvious reasons. This all works very fine. The problem is that when connect to the computer with ssh and reboot it, 10 minutes after started the monitor goes dark, as if the screensaver gets activated, then i connect a mouse and do some moves the screen goes to the normal functional state, then disconnect the mouse and it never goes dark again, after 1 day even!. When i turn on the computer with mouse and keyboard connected, just 20 seconds after started i disconnect those both, it do the same (after 10 minutes goes dark), but if wait for 1 minute usgin the mouse and keyboard and then disconnect both, the screen goes dark thing never came out. It just appear to happen at some point when the system does not detect any input.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: USB Keyboard Disabled After Lengthy Screensaver Period?

Aug 31, 2009

Screensaver mode was engaged in KDE via Control-Alt-L. Then after a while the screen when blank. I was able to get the login screen by moving my mouse; however, the keyboard was somehow disabled. It would not transmit any input. I hit cancel with the mouse and the keyboard could not bring up the login dialog box. This doesn't happen if the screensaver is engaged briefly - only for an extended period of time (perhaps 30 minutes)

Ubuntu :: Lucid Shuts Off Monitor Randomly - Disabled Sleep And Screensaver To No Effect

May 24, 2010

I'm running a fresh 10.04 x86-64 on a thinkpad w500, using the default video driver. The monitor shuts off randomly, sometimes while I'm using it and requires me to trigger sleep mode and waking up to bring back the screen. When it shuts off, everything else seems to be running. (i.e. its not going to sleep) I've turned off screensaver, sleep, hibernation and installed the Caffeine util to no avail.

Ubuntu :: Install WINE Screensaver In Gnome-screensaver Possible?

May 19, 2010

There's an OSS screensaver on windows that I love called PixelCity (links:blog post, github). it's pretty cool. and it runs fine on my Ubuntu (Karmic 9.10) with wine.Is there a way I can tell the gnome-screensaver about it so I can use it as one of my screensavers? I'm still fairly new to Gnome and the whole "screensavers as themes" thing is still confusing me.I've found my themesdir and tried to create a .desktop file for it, but obviously I've gotten something wrong as it just doesn't show when I open the screensaver prefs dialog, no error, no message, it's just not there.

Installing the xscreensaver packages added the extra screensavers I was missing, and I'm a pixelcity away from perfection..Of course the perfect solution would be if someone ported the screensaver natively to linux, which shouldn't be too hard as the source is open, it already runs on openGL and tries to confine most windows stuff to a single file. But I don't know C++ or 3D code or win/linux internals so I wouldn't know where to start..

Debian Configuration :: Screensaver Starting During Mythtv?

Feb 20, 2011

I have my secreensaver just set to black screen after 10min but I had to disable it because the black screen starts up while watching recorded TV & videos on VLC. I don't usually install "gnome" or gnome-desktop-base or whatever it is. I always install "gnome-core" only. Squeeze has the screensaver installed with the gnome-core package by default so I can't leave it out like I usually do as this screensaver issue has been a problem for me since Sarge. So, now that I have to deal with this,

General :: All Printers Disabled In Debian 5

Jul 28, 2010

I am running VirtualBox on a Windows XP host. I have two containers, one running Fedora 13 and the other running Debian 5. I set up the three printers I have at home on each system. The printers in Fedora work great. The same printers in Debian are disabled and will not print. I've also installed cups-pdf on each system. Works on Fedora, disabled on Debian. I don't know what is different. I set them up the same way with the same drivers, but I cannot enable or otherwise use the printers with Debian.

Is there some admin setting I'm not aware of to allow printing from Debian?

Debian :: Is Nouveau Able To Be Disabled During Squeeze Install

Sep 23, 2010

I need to use the proprietary NVIDIA driver instead, but it can't install while this is active. I'm working off a fairly fresh install anyway, so I can reinstall debian if the option to not install nouveau is present somewhere during the install process. Or, is there an easy way to get rid of Nouveau from my current install altogether?

Debian Installation :: Disabled UEFI Secure Boot

Sep 26, 2014

I have Acer Aspire S7-392. It has two 128GB SSD drives. They are using RAID 0. Currently there is Windows 8.1 installed on the RAID 0 drive.I am trying to install Debian 7.6 (wheezy) alongside Win 8.1 (dual boot). Actually I have already created linux partitions and installed mentioned Debian on my computer. I had to skip grub installation due to fatal error that had occurred. (Everything on existing RAID 0 volume).Now I am looking the way to install grub and boot Debian. I have disabled UEFI Secure Boot. It didn't work.

My question is:

1. Is it possible to have Win 8.1 and Debian dual-bootable on the same RAID 0 volume? How to install grub and boot debian?

2. If not, what am I supposed to do to achieve what I want (these two systems on one computer)? Delete old one RAID 0 and create two new: one for windows and one for linux partitions?

Debian Configuration :: Services That Can Be Safely Disabled With Systemctl

Jul 22, 2015

Have been working most of the day on this usb full install (Jesiie xfce) trying to make it leaner/faster and trying to get rid of minor annoyances like "watchdog: watchdog0 is not shutting down" (couldn't btw), finally managed to disable "You have mail" by commenting out "session optional pam_ mail.so standard" in /etc/pam.d/login. Every little change registers in terms of seconds of boot time saved and how the system responds because, well, i'm booting from a usb 2 drive.Followed some suggestions from "Reduce Debian", removed cups-common, some foreign language locales and man pages. what i can safely do with systemctl.

Debian Multimedia :: NumLock Option Disabled At Login

Jul 29, 2010

Using squeeze here. Until recent updates to xserver, my numlock worked as expected, but now the damn thing won't stay on anymore. Numlockx is still broken as it's always been for me in that it turns the numlock on but not the led on the keybord. I'm using slim as a login manager which everytime it's updated they set the numlock option to disabled for whaterver reason, but then that doesn't work if I enable it anyway (why have it?). So what is it with debain/(Linux) and their obsession with disabled numlocks at login, I don't get it?

Debian :: Root Access And Desktop Disabled \ Couldn't Open The Root Terminal?

Feb 19, 2011

I was using the latest stable release of Debian, dual-booted alongside Windows Vista, with the GNOME desktop, installed via netinst, trying to build and install a library that I knew and trusted, when suddenly I couldn't open the Root Terminal. I clicked the link (in Applications->Accessories (I think, whatever the top one is)->Root Terminal), and in the taskbar I saw an item that said "Starting Root Terminal". A few seconds later, that went away, but the terminal still wasn't open. I tried the regular user terminal, to see the same thing happen. Unsure of what was happening, I tried restarting my computer, since that's always the first step you should take in computer problems.

When I restarted, GNOME wouldn't start. The screen would flash a bit for a few seconds, then a dialog box would appear over a background of static that said "The greeter application is crashing. Attempting another one...".t would then go back to the DOS-style kernel, wait a second, and then the same thing would happen. After several of that, I would get a blue screen which said something to the effect of "It has been detected that the desktop environment has crashed six times in the past 30 seconds.

Waiting two minutes before trying again." When it did that, I tried logging in as root to assess the problem. I gave it the correct password, but it said that it was an incorrect login. After several tries (to ensure I didn't mistype the password), I logged in as myself. Same problem. I tried the su command, with the correct password, and it said it couldn't authorise it.

After a lengthy conversation with a friend of mine who was very good with computers, he basically summarised that he had no clue, but that his best guess would be a virus. Upon running the Linux installer, I found the Repair option. Not being particularly familiar with Linux, I used it simply to backup my important files onto a flash drive. I then tried running the Install option, in an attempt to simply write over my existing Linux and make it new again. The installer, however, consistently froze up when trying to start the partitioner, on the "Checking disks..." stage. I figured it was a problem with my partition. In my naivete, I simply used the Windows tools to clear that partition... It destroyed GRUB too, so I couldn't run any OS. I figured my computer was pretty well screwed, and at that point just decided to bring it into the shop and have them completely wipe it.

my computer was backed up onto an external hard driven I brought it back, I reinstalled Windows. Upon restart, it said that it was still looking for GRUB, which made no sense to me. After messing around with it a bit, I decided to just reinstall Linux too. To my lack of surprise, that fixed the problem. Both OS' now ran just fine. The first thing I did on Debian was to install the Clam Anti-Virus, which I understood to be one of the best Linux anti-viruses. However, within about 10 hours, got the same problem as originally. I wasn't doing any of the same things, and between the lack of consistency in activities and the fact that I had an anti-virus running,figured it wasn't a virus. Not knowing what to do, I just left it and have been using Windows since.

Debian Configuration :: Wifi "disabled By State File" After Suspend

Mar 8, 2010

Using Squeeze, I wanted to get KMS + DRI2 and suspend/hibernate working with my radeon card using the Open source driver (my card: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M IGP (5955) PCIE (RC410) is no longer supported by the ATI/AMD proprietary driver). I know my card has problems with suspend/hibernate in User modesetting and from what I've read [URL] it has been solved for some only using KMS.

I followed this instructions by the Debian maintainer:[URL] Of course in reality the available version in experimental is now 6.12.191, and mesa 7.7 and libdrm-radeon1 are already in testing. Therefore I only had to get xserver-xorg-video-radeon from experimental and switch KMS on. It worked ok , except that when I tried to hibernate, it didn't even go into hibernate mode!...the screen went blank and the wireless led shut off, but the fan was running and the keyboard lights were on...

Aside from that I also got the following disquieting messages:

[drm:rs400_gart_adjust_size] *ERROR* Forcing to 32M GART size (because of ASIC bug ?)
radeon 0000:01:05.0: Wait MC idle timeout before updating MC
Failed to wait MC idle while programming pipes. Bad things might happen.

Ubuntu :: Screensaver Does Not Go Away?

Jun 7, 2010

I have recently upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, and I have the following problem.My computer is set up to start the screensaver and lock the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity and to use a blank screen after 15. Whenever I come back after some moments of inactivity and move the mouse, the screensaver doesn't go away. Instead of having a box whereinput a password, I'm left with a still image of one frame of the screensaver. I can still input the password and press enter to unlock the screen, but it is a bit annoying nevertheless. Moreover this does not happen if the screen is blank: in that case I see the expected box.
