|
|
First, is it possible to disable screen blanking in the Console?
Second, how would one go about doing it?
Personally, I could not hate this more... Especially given the fact that when reading something, there typcially is not any user input for an extended length of time. |

Google gave me that when I did the search you should have done (disable screen blanking console):
Quote: | > I don't know about your other problem, but to disable scren

>
> -blank [0-60] (virtual consoles only)
> Sets the interval of inactivity, in minutes, after which

> available). Without an argument, defaults to 0 (disable
> console blanking). |

Quote: | As mentioned in another thread recently, 'setterm -blank 0' in your
.bash_profile will disable screen blanking (though I'm not sure if
that's cancelled when you log out ...). |

|
|
Is there a way to change turn of or change how long it takes the screen to go blank when you're in the console. When im emerging something and I go to a different computer to work on something, I don't want to press a button just to see if my emerge is done. I like just turning around and seeing whats up.
thanks |

Look at the setteerm command, "setterm -blank" should be what you are looking for. |

see man setterm or
echo -n -e "\033[9;$some_number]"
# Note 0 set console screen-blank time out to none
echo -n -e "\033[9;0]" |

if you dont feel like reading the man page:
will disable this behavior (once)
you can replace the 0 with a number of minutes of delay if you want[/code] |

This is what i have in /etc/conf.d/local.start to prevent the screen going blank, ever: Code: | setterm -blank -powersave off -powerdown |
Note that there is no hyphen only before "off", all the other options have hyphens before them. |

|
|
I got a linux server and the kernel is getting in panic!
When i go to the server the monitor image is blank because the monitor is standby mode(power management?).
I want to see the erro in the screen, but because the monitor is blank i cant see the error, even if i press a key or move the mouse.
The server doesnt have X.
soo, how can i turn off the stand by mode of the monitor?
Thank you a lot! |

|
|
hi, my router-box gentoo turns the monitor to black(you know, some say powersaving mode) in console, and I want to turn that function off.
Please provide me some links or some nice keyword to search about it, I only can spot X dpms stuff.

Hi,
see the manual for setterm command
There is an option for blanking. At the moment I do not remember how to set it up at startup. I think the command
can be included in an rc-script.
cheers,
