How Do I Prevent Display From Shutting Off?
Ok, I got Ubuntu Hardy here. and Ive tried
setterm -blank 0 -store And I have tried apci=off <--I added this to my kernel line in the grub boot loader And neither have prevented the display from shutting down. I like running htop and having a display up and would like to know how to prevent the display from shutting off, this is a pure command line system. If any of you pros might be willing to share a small nugget or tip with me I would be smiling about it all day, thank you. |
Im using Slackware so things might be a bit different but have a look at /etc/rc.d/rc.M.There is a line in mine as follows
# Screen blanks after 15 minutes idle time, and powers down in one hour # if the kernel supports APM or ACPI power management: /bin/setterm -blank 15 -powersave powerdown -powerdown 60 Just a guess but this may be what you are looking for.Just hash out the line starting with /bin and that command will not run.I haven't tried this personally.Maybe someone else will come in with a reply to back this up before you try it.Also have a look at "man setterm". |
Yeah I think its different in Ubuntu
