Title: [solved] Disabling screen savers or blanking and other power management?
Post by: vr on April 02, 2010, 11:47:52 AM

Using just the current GUI distribution of TCL 2.10, is it possible to turn off all screen saver or screen blanking and any power saving features - without installing any extensions?

I've added:

Code: [Select]

xset s off
to the file

Code: [Select]

/opt/bootlocal.sh
then issued

Code: [Select]

sudo filetool.sh backup
and rebooted.

After some time, the screen still goes blank.  What am I doing wrong?

As xset is a X program, it should be run from .xsession, not bootlocal.

Oops! ok. I added xset s off to /home/tc/.xsession then did a backup and then rebooted. Now it is working correctly. Thanks!

I need help.
1. In which place add xset ??

I enclose printscreen shows content of .xsession file

2. Add only xset s off or xset s off && -dpms

Sorry for probably a stupid question but I have zero experience with linux.
I will be gratefull for reply.
Best regards

Hi Johnson9
You can add  xset s off  to the end of your  .xsession  file.

I tried that before i wrote post with question - but after reboot computer the file was restore ? - there was no line in it that I added before restart computer.

But thank you very much for reply - I will try again.

It sounds like you didn't run a backup before rebooting.
