I have both Computer and Display set to NEVER SLEEP in power management. yet after about five minutes of inactivity, Ubuntu always blanks out the screen (i.e., just a black monitor screen but the monitor power light is still on).How do I stop this? I want to continue to see what is on my desktop--I do not want the screen to blank out ever.

Ubuntu :: Dual Monitor (Random Screen Blanking)

Feb 23, 2011

I recently upgraded my 10.04 installation to 10.10 and ever since my dual monitor set-up has been behaving oddly - my secondary monitor randomly goes black for a second and then comes back as normal. I've tried to reproduce it with no luck and it isn't something I experienced with previous installations so wondered whether it's a known problem with 10.10? NVidia Quadro NVS 290

Debian Multimedia :: How To Disable Xorg Screen Blanking

Feb 11, 2011

The X server in Debian seems to have a "funny" habit to suddenly start blanking the screen if I don't touch the mouse or the keyboard for a while, although I've used the xset command (xset -dpms s off) in my ~/.xinitrc to tell Xorg specifically NOT to blank the screen. I know how to disable screen blanking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I'd rather not have the xorg.conf file at all.

So, I'd be interested to hear your suggestions about how to disable the Xorg screen blanking without using the xset command or the xorg.conf file. Is there some other file in /etc/X11/ that I could tweak to disable this highly annoying desire of Xorg to insist on blanking my screen after a bit of idle time?

Fedora :: FC15 Gnome 3 - How To Stop Screen From Blanking

Sep 2, 2011

How do I stop the display from turning off? In 'System Settings/Screen', I can only choose from a preset range of minutes - there is no option to disable it. Very annoying when watching a 90 minute movie, for instance. At least under FC14 I had the disable option. I tried unchecking Power Manager in gnome-session-properties, but that disabled the system from suspending when the laptop lid is closed and might have other ramifications as well. I tried disabling Screensaver in gnome-session-properties, but 'System Settings/Screen' still showed up with the same options, so it appears to be unrelated. Anyway, I suspect this is a power management issue, not a screensaver issue.

General :: Adding Screen Blanking Timeout For Xvesa

Jan 14, 2010

Aboard TinyCore 2.7 and opting to run without Xorg. I'm needing either a pointer or syntax example. Seems my monitor supports dpms after executing a quick one-two with:

$ xset s blank
$ xset s 150

Yet I'm unsure how it would look placed in Tinys .xsession:

Code:
Xvesa -br -screen 1024x768x32 -shadow -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &
waitforX
"$DESKTOP" 2>/tmp/wm_errors &
export WM_PID=$!
[ -n "$THEME" ] && cp /opt/jwmThemes/"$THEME" .jwmrc-theme
if [ -n "$BACKGROUND" ]; then
setbackground image /opt/backgrounds/"$BACKGROUND"
else
[ -x ./.setbackground ] && ./.setbackground
fi
[ "$ICONS" == "wbar" ] && /usr/bin/wbar.sh
[ -x ./.mouse_config ] && ./.mouse_config &
[ $(which flit) ] && flit &

General :: Mint 9 KDE Installed - Screen Splashing / Blanking

Sep 23, 2010

I recently installed Mint 9 using/trying KDE, which I found very intuitive and feature-rich. However, a snag soon appeared. The screen started to blank every few seconds or minute. This is pretty annoying. I have so far tried every tried-and-tested means available, exhaustively, to no avail. Even their website has this as a known issue, yet the solution (i.e. configuring the screen resolution) doesn't seem to work for me.

CentOS 5 :: Stop Screen Blanking And Power Save?

Aug 25, 2009

I'm not sure this belongs in this forum as opposed to the hardware forum, but I do not beleive this is a hardware issue.I want to stop the scrren from blanking and going to power save. I'm running 5.3_x86-64 and I'm using the nVidia drivers direct from nVidia called NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-96.43.13-pkg2.run.

So far, I'm added DPMS off in /etc/xorg.conf, removed all the screensaver packages and all the power management packagesbut the screen is still going blank after a time of inactivity.What else do I need to do? I can not allow the screen to go blank, there should be no screensaver or power management and the machine should stay in a completely awake and ready-to-use state at all times.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Dell Optiplex 960 Screen Blanking ?

Sep 8, 2010

I've just installed 12 new Dell Optiplex 960 computers with Dell 2009W monitors. They are identical hardware and OS installs. Some of them are exhibiting a weird problem with their screens: They boot up and run just fine, but then the monitor goes black for 2 or 3 seconds, and comes back, with the small DVI icon popping up in the upper left corner to show which video connection is active. This repeats at random intervals continously; sometimes just a few seconds between, and sometimes many minutes.

The problem initially happened on just one machine so I had Dell swap the motherboard thinking it was a hardware issue. That did not fix it. Soon after that, I got reports from several users of the same problem on other of the new machines.

I've done a very basic install of CentOS 5.5, skipping all of my local configuration management stuff, and it still happens. Then I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and over the last few hours the machine has been rock solid. No video issues at all.

Here is the output of lspci:

General :: Change System Console Screen Blanking Behavior?

Jun 14, 2010

How do I change the screen blanking behavior on Linux virtual terminals?

For example, if I switch to a VT from X, login, and leave the system alone for 5 minutes or so, the screen will blank like a screensaver. It comes back with any keypress, like a screensaver.

Mostly I just want to change the timeout, but I'm also interested in other settings.

If it helps, one of my systems is running Ubuntu 10.04 with the stock graphics drivers. fbset shows the console using the radeondrmfb framebuffer device.

Ubuntu :: Online Radio Streams Stop After 25 Mins

Oct 18, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, and so far I'm digging it a lot more than 10.04 (had annoying sound issues then), but I have a mild issue with playing online radio streaming through either FireFox or Chrome.

After about 25 minutes or so, the audio will just stop, I then have to click on my radio channel to get it back up again. Kind of annoying. I assume this is some sort of plugin or keep alive issue?

Ubuntu Installation :: Lost Sound After Upgrade 10 Mins Ago?

Aug 11, 2011

I've just done an upgrade after noticing the Update manager thingee at the bottom of the screen. I was listening to my music when I noticed it.

I did the Restart now after upgrading. Now I have no sound at all. Checked headphones were turned up which they were. Checked sound settings and found there were no Devices in Hardware and Input and a Dummy Output (stereo) listed in Output. I would have thought that my onboard sound would have shown up as well as the sound bits on my HDMI card - not that I've ever managed to get sound out of my telly via the HDMI cable. (I do have Alsa sound installed).

Fedora :: USB Mouse Stops Working Sometimes After 5 Mins?

Apr 19, 2011

My USB mouse stops working sometimes after 5 mins, sometimes 30 mins. Used two different '"corded" USB mice, different USB ports. Same issue. The power to the mouse itself seems to turn off as the laser light is off. Unplugging and replacing does not fix, only a reboot. Same problem with Ubuntu and Mint.
