Fedora :: Monitor Turns Off After 10 Minutes?
Feb 8, 2011
FC13. In Screensaver, I've made sure no screensaver is selected. In Power Management, PowerDevil is unchecked, profile is set to "performance" and that profile is set to never dim the screen. In fact, just to be sure, I edited all the other unselected profiles to not dim the screen. I've done this as a user, and I've done this as root. My monitor still gets turned off at the 10 minutes mark (I used a stopwatch).
Site search only turned up this thread, but I'm using kde not gnome, and I can't locate a screensaver daemon to kill.

I've read many posts about other people having this issue and I can't seem to find one that is the same problem I am having. I'm totally new to ubuntu and linux as well for that matter, Basically I wanted to give linux a try and started doing some research and liked everything I read about ubuntu. I went to the website and used the wubi (I think that was what it was called) to install ubuntu. Now when I boot my computer it asks me which operating system I would like to use. I navigate to ubuntu and press enter and it starts up with no problems what so ever.
At first I was really surprised with how easy the installation was and how great everything was going, however. After looking around for about 10 minutes, the screen abruptly went black and then my monitor had a small blue box on it with "No input" on it before the light went from blue to orange. I tried hitting every combination of keys I could think of and in the end had to do a hard restart.
Long story short. every time I use ubuntu my monitor shuts off after about 10-20 minutes, regardless of what activity I am doing. I've tried going to /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/ to make sure that sleep_display_ac was set to 0 (it was), I've turned off power management using the power manger under preferences. No matter what I have tried, it continues to be a problem.

I have a disturbing problem with my monitor which goes to sleep (or ??) after few minutes if my comp is not used and most of the time I have to restart my comp.I disabled everything in Powersave , but nothing. I did have that problem in previous versions of SUSE, but somehow, I solved that. I cant remember what I did then.

My VLC player blocks screensaver while playing, but my monitor still turns off when watching for some time. I did a few searches, but I don't see any good keywords so I'm starting a new thread.

I got this 1Tb Toshiba external about a month ago, and recently I started really using it to share lots of media files. What I've noticed is that it turns itself off after a few minutes of inactivity -- I researched this issue across the internet, and found that it's between 5 and 30 minutes, depending on who's writing about it.
I found a person who posted a DOS batch file, which (i think) continuously accesses the drive as long as the batch file is running. I'd like to find a way to do that in linux. could someone point me in the right direction?
i took a few minutes to plan it out... i think i need a loop that will access the drive (or do something to it, at least) once every minute until i close the script. I'd also like a message box that shows up that says something like "while this is open, your HDD is being accessed".

the problem is: my monitor turns off when I want to install ubuntu! t's really pissing me off right now.Explanation:right now, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and I want to installUbuntu 10.04, so I made a bootable usb, and i booted my computeron this usb. so far, there's nothing going wrong. First, I had to select a language for Ubuntu, so I did that.After that, I had to choose want i want to do with ubuntu,so I selected (of course) "install Ubuntu".Then i got the loading screen, and after a short time,suddenly my monitor turns off

I have just installed an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro (AGP) in my tower, which is running Ubuntu 10.04. I installed the fglrx driver via Jockey, and ran 'aticonfig --initial', with no errors. Now, when I boot, it gets as far as the plymouth splash screen, and the display turns off, and the power light flashes on and off. If I boot in failsafe and use the backed up confguration, it works fine again. The monitor I am using is quite an old one - a 17" CRT with maximum resolution of 1152x864. I do not know the vendor.
Here is the output of xorg.conf
Quote:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

suspend has always worked fine with 11.04 and now it stopped working a few days ago. How can I figure out what is going on? The display turns off but the computer never turns off and the only way to bring it back is to hold the power button down and then start it back up.

When booting up the linux distro everything boots up fine. However the linux terminal shows "-Bash:" and doesn't show the current directory. This may be fine for some people but I need to know what directory I am working in and having it displayed would make things a LOT easier.
Sadly though I can't find any useful information about doing this.I found something like "PS1=w" but that doesn't do anything at all. Oh yeah and I don't have a .bashrc nor a /etc/bashrc for some reason. Also when trying to use a framebuffer and using "vga=791" (1024x768) in grub the monitor turns itself off. This applies if I set vga to anything. I believe I compiled framebuffer support in the kernel but I am not 100% sure so if you believe that is the problem then I will double check. That would require redownloading the source again and networking hasn't been set up yet so.
Also what packages does "iwconfig", "ifconfig", and "dhcpcd" come in? Those are the tools I commonly used to connect to my wireless internet but they are not present in the linux distro.

Slackware 13.1, on a Dell... Opliplex GX260... running XFCE4, as root. Stuff runs fine. However, the monitor goes to powersave mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. I've turned off power management in the kernel, in the app., have checked the xorg.conf, checked everywhere I can think of, can't find where this is being set. how I can turn this off?

I am running Fedora 13 at the moment and am having trouble with my internet connection. The connection works fine, but at some point during the night, it turns itself off. When I try to get back on in the morning, I have to sudo ifup eth0 to get it working again. I tried a small bash script running through cron to do this for me every hour, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.

While using FireFox the application will sometimes turn a shade of grey. Almost as if the entire application is locked. Most times if I wait for a while it will "colorize" itself after a moment or two and I'm right back to doing whatever I was doing.,I was just wondering if anybody could tell me why this happens?
I have noticed that the AutoTen program does the same thing while an application is being installed. The terminal-style window will open and start doing all the important stuff, and the GUI will grey out until it's done... I just don't understand why FireFox would be doing this...

I'm using mencoder to capture audio from a Encore ENLTV-FM3 video capture device. I have recently noticed that, since one week ago, when the machine was forcibly restarted due to a power outage, all recordings are slightly pitched, they play back slower than they should.
I narrowed down the problem to the following command line:
$ time mencoder -really-quiet -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video1:chanlist=us-cable:audiorate=32000:alsa:adevice=hw.1:input=0:amode=1:normid=11 -endpos 00:10:00 -ovc copy -oac pcm -of rawaudio -o test-32000.wav tv://69
real 9m54.886s
user 0m5.536s
sys 0m1.740s
$ ls -l test-32000.wav
-rw-r--r--@ 1 martin martin 76800000 Mar 15 17:20 test-32000.wav
Somehow, mencode managed to gather precisely 10 minutes worth of raw audio in 9m 55s. That's not physically possible, unless the capture device's A/D converters are "overclocked". I can't think of any other explanation besides hardware failure. Can that be? Could it be that something got burnt during the power outage and now the capture device's internal clock went nuts?
Since the machine's restart, I've also noticed dmesg is flooded with entries like this:
CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to XXX nsec
Which seem to indicate that the computer's high precision event timer is somehow out of sync. Does this have to do with the audio issue? Can it be that the audio converter's sample rate is linked to the HPET? I'm totally lost here. Has anyone bumped into something similar?

I just downloaded Fedora 10, burned the CD, installed the program, etc. Everything went just fine, but after rebooting the screen turns gibberish, totally unreadable. I now it's the video card, NVIDIA but how do I fix it? I installed Fedora 8 which worked just great, no issues. My machine is Intel Core 2 7300, Geforce 9600GT my other machine, is AMD-64 5000, Geforce 9500 GT, same problem happens when trying to install Centos 5.

I am facing problem with the fresh installation of Fedora 11. (I have moved from Fedora 9). When I try to view videos on ..... or use the Cheese Webcam Booth, I get blurred lines on the screen and I am unable to see any video or pic.
Also I noticed that the when i go to System > Preferences>Display, it shows me UNKOWN MONIOR.
However, if I got to System>Administration>Display and enter the su password, it shows me correct monitor and the graphics driver.
I am not sure if my original is related to the Unknown Monitor.
I also tried to install Nvidia driver but it crashed the xserver and I had remove the driver.
My Monitor is LG 700E and Graphics card is from intel. as I am not able watch any video.

I am having problems getting my external monitor to work. When I plug in the monitor, both the laptop screen and the external monitor go black. When I unplug the monitor, the laptop screen works again.
When I startup with the external monitor plugged in, neither screen works or teh computer hangs or something.
I have had the external monitor going on a couple of occasions. I did manage to configure my monitors through System Settings > Display. I turned off the laptop monitor as I just want to use the external. But after rebooting, things didn't work.
I have a Thinkpad E420, Fedora 15

I have an external monitor connected to my laptop (extended display). I always drag the Totem player from the laptop screen to external monitor to watch video files. I wonder, if the Totem player can be set to open in the external monitor automatically, everytime I open it?

My software and hardware information are as follows. I have Fedora 12 and KDE 4.4.5 installed on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. I believe it's a 64 bit processor; it's an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. The external monitor is a Dell as well.
My problem is that my system does not seem to be detecting an external monitor that I have connected. Everything else is working just fine; however, I would like to have the option of attaching an external monitor. When I plug the external monitor into the laptop, the external monitor remains black and appears to be in power save mode. The results of xrandr -q (with or without the external monitor attached: it doesn't appear to change) are as follows.
Code:
How can I get my laptop to recognize that the external monitor is even connected? Let me know if I can be more specific or provide additional details.

I just upgrade to F14 from F10 on a dual montor setup. Firefox behaives differently on F14 than on F10.
On F10 it followed the mouse pointer's location and show up on the correct monitor
When maximized at close, it is always displayed on the left monitor. When not maximized at close it will open on the monitor where the mouse pointer is located.
About minimize/maximize Firefoxe before closing and it seems to work in some case, but not for me.

I've got an older graphics card I'm trying to use. It actually runs fine through the bios and even works when fedora is loading. But once fedora finishes loading half the screen turns into thousands of multicolored horizontal lines.

I have f11 installed on as a vm on virtualbox 3.0.4. It takes forever to boot. I modified /etc/udev/udev.conf and changed udev_log="info" to udev_log="debug" and rebooted the system. When the progress bars came up I hit Esc and watched the boot process. Udev runs through approximately 7-800 items before it ever tries to load anything else. Is there a way that I can change this? I have been through the forums and can't find anything similar to this. I thought maybe that it was the "Floppy" issue so I went ahead and blacklisted the floppy drive (as this is a vm I don't have access to the BIOS) anyway.

I just installed fedora 12 on my new harddrive, and it's booting up extremely slow (but once I'm logged into the system, it all seems to run fine). Right now my set-up looks like this: 1TB HD: new install of fedora 12 300GB HD: Windows xp & my previous install of fedora 12
My previous installation of fedora 12 never booted this slow until after I installed Fedora 12 on my new HD. It seems to freeze right before the log in screen, and after I log in, both installations take about a minute to get to a usable desktop. I pressed the Esc key during startup to see if anything was wrong, and it didn't hang up on anything. However, as it was loading the login screen (where it first begins to get sluggish), I was kicked out of the terminal view and forced to wait in the gui for log in.

I've been using Fedora 5 for a few years and have never had a problem with it. Recently I upgraded to Fedora 14 and have run into a problem with the desktop freezing a few minutes after it comes up. I can move the mouse pointer around but nothing happens when I click on any icon. This happens with Gnome as well as KDE. I haven't tried Xfce. I think I read somewhere that the freezing is a problem with my video chip which is an SiS located on the motherboard. Is there a way to fix this problem?

I use LXDE for about 2 days now, having several issues, but most important, its the only DE that hangs up itself every 10-60 minutes.
All i do is surf the web, watch a movie or listen music (mp3). I have no idea what could it cause, i dont get a error message.
Its acting like, do you know the old hughe black vynil long play discs? when they had a scratch, they were repeating it over and over and over and over and over and over... Well its kinda the same, just that it repeats either the music or the video (just the audio), mouse is frozen, and nothing but power shutdown works anymore.
After the 3 other DE's i was using, i kinda like LXDE the most, but that bug (?) is pretty annoying.

I have been having an issue with my screen blanking out after a few minutes (number of minutes unknown), since I reinstalled Fedora 12 (KDE) a couple of weeks ago. I have tried, yes, a lot of things to try to set it so that it doesn't blank out, to no avail. I have spent a lot of time on the Fedora forum seeking resolution, with a variety of suggestions, all to no avail. I went into System Settings > Power Control, and fooled with things around there and they didn't work. I tried xset and dpms and shutting them off. Still no cigar.
