Re: How to stop Gnome 3.4 from DPMS screen blanking
But you should be able to change this to at least 1hr?In Gnome 3.4, by default, the screen blanks every 10 minutes

Re: How to stop Gnome 3.4 from DPMS screen blanking
Well I don't know, but in my case (I am using Gnome shell 3.4) Ijust changed the settings in system settings / screen brightness and block, and I have my monitor on for an hour when I am using my laptop to watch a movie. Anyway, thanks for your how-to

I do not have the issue in XFCE.
All the following commands can be run from a Terminal, like for instance gnome-terminal. You can easily select and copy a command from this page, then paste it in a terminal, and hit enter.
I have a sudo setup on LMDE, if you have an su setup like on standard Debian, use:
...and enter the root password, and commands.Code: Select all
su -
But we will continue with the sudo version:
To stop the screen from blanking you have to pass some configuration parameters to the X server.
In a terminal, run:
Then create a new config file:Code: Select all
sudo mkdir -pv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Copy/paste the following code and save the file:Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-disable-screen-blanking.conf
Close your applications and restart the X server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, or simply log out nad log back in again.Code: Select all
Section "ServerFlags" Option "BlankTime" "0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" EndSection
Yes, SOLVED
Thanks! I should keep notes about where my notes are.
So far, this works in any xorg whither Debian, Arch, Linux, Slacks, BSDs etc (sorry, not Mi¢ro$o£t Wind%w¢)
Seeing this, I remembered doing this same FIX in Debian and ArchBang once. As now the screen is still on after 30mins so far and going (instead of 10). This old box is on AntiX. It's the only thing that can access "random hdd" that I add as slave drives in. I'm installing/reinstalling hoping OSs as a hooby on old machines just to see how far it goes. I don't even network them into each other. I care even less for gaming. And I like having something that runs when I'm stuck in the mud with the next one ahahah;) (and at 25$ a piece these oldies, it's a lot cheaper than any twin or quad-display video card)
This time I have been looking for a fix through tty's :; --> I don't see why I should have at some level up, something or codes that works to put wherever, when I have to at the user level to put a code that will counter-act that un-needed output.

In the startup application settings, put these 2 items in and your DPMS screen blanking will go away.
