setterm error/msg: can't (un)set pwr save mode

[ttz]

don't want screen to blank in tty.

what i did:
in /opt/bootlocal.sh i added: setterm -powersave off -blank 0

reboot & then the msg:
setterm: cannot (un)set powersave mode: Inapproprate ioctl for device

as far as i can tell, what i did worked; it is good for me. but then there is that msg. ignore it? if not, do what?

No idea, but you could try this instead:

Code: [Select]

echo -e '\033[9;0]'
"0" means blank in 0 minutes, i.e. blanking off.

bootlocal.sh runs on /dev/console, not a tty. To run that command on a tty, put it in .profile.

did as curaga said. success on two boxes.
