| nicofs1 | I need help. When my mouse is inactive, after 5 sec my display dims down and after 20 the display shuts down. in settings manager I specified it not to do that - but it still does. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Cael | how can i get the tv out to work properly | 00:01 |
| charlie-tca | nicofs, you turned it off in power settings, it might be a bios setting instead of software. | 00:01 |
| charlie-tca | Cael, you probably have to set up /etc/xorg.conf file to tell it what to do | 00:01 |
| nicofs1 | charlie-tca: it wasn't there before, and apart from boot order, I didn't change a thing... | 00:02 |
| charlie-tca | The file does not exist, but if created it is used | 00:02 |
| nicofs1 | charlie-tca: I'll quickly check my modem anyway... hang on... | 00:03 |
| nicofs1 | charlie-tca: sorry... bios... it's late... | 00:03 |
| nicofs | charlie-tca: fool-proof bios. can't change anything apart from boot order... | 00:06 |
| charlie-tca | hm, check all the tabs in power management then. | 00:07 |
| nicofs | I did. I deactivated everything. no dimming down, no switching off... | 00:08 |
| charlie-tca | oh, yeah, check the advanced tab in screensaver, too | 00:08 |
| charlie-tca | display power management. That overrides power management in xfce | 00:08 |
| nicofs | charlie-tca: nope. nothing... | 00:10 |
| charlie-tca | Anyone else? I am out of knowledge now | 00:10 |
| nicofs | I think I'll go to bed anyway... | 00:12 |
| fructose | Is there an easier way to get icons in the top panel than creating them from scratch? I'd just like some of the same ones in the applications menu | 00:22 |
| Thermi | gn8 | 00:23 |
| charlie-tca | fructose, creating the launchers? | 00:24 |
| fructose | charlie-tca: Right | 00:24 |
| charlie-tca | I do them from scratch using the /usr/share/applications files for the information | 00:24 |
| charlie-tca | You can even copy/paste the information for everything but the icon | 00:25 |
| cael_ | charlie-tca, im connected at the linux pc. | 00:25 |
| cael_ | now what did i need to do again in the xorg.conf? | 00:25 |
| charlie-tca | You need to create it | 00:26 |
| cael_ | /etc/X11/ or? | 00:26 |
| charlie-tca | /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:26 |
| cael_ | ok can you give me an idea how it should look like/ | 00:27 |
| cael_ | it has an Geforce FX 5200 PCI video card | 00:27 |
| charlie-tca | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/dexconf.1.html | 00:27 |
| cael_ | ughh i hate this pare mouse it doesnt right click. how can i in xchat? | 00:29 |
| charlie-tca | this might help, too - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MonitorDetection | 00:29 |
| charlie-tca | center button sometimes pastes | 00:30 |
| cael_ | (its an old Mac "Hocky puck" USB Mouse) | 00:31 |
| charlie-tca | oh-oh | 00:31 |
| charlie-tca | don't know what to do with that one | 00:31 |
| cael_ | ok i just got greeted by hardware drivers for the vid card | 00:31 |
| cael_ | rev 96 or 173? | 00:32 |
| charlie-tca | In xchat, can't you left click to open the link in the browser? | 00:32 |
| charlie-tca | My guess is 173 | 00:32 |
| cael_ | in Ychat (xchat for windows) i always had to right click | 00:32 |
| charlie-tca | You are right. left-click hilites it | 00:33 |
| charlie-tca | then ctrl+c will copy it | 00:33 |
| charlie-tca | then ctrl+v will paste it | 00:34 |
| cael_ | ok | 00:35 |
| charlie-tca | After you create that file, you log out and log in to activate it | 00:37 |
| charlie-tca | I have to go now. Good luck. | 00:41 |
| n2diy | moetunes, hmm, ok, never occured to me that I could get ride of the desktop? | 01:05 |

| nicofs | My energy saving settings are wrong and I can't change them. Power Manager has no effect. if my mouse is idle my display dims instantly and shuts off after 20 seconds. | 09:07 |
| Psilocybin_Elf | Need to change my power settings too | 09:07 |
| Sysi | have you checked you don't have gnome-power-manager running | 09:08 |
| nicofs | Sysi: purged that as a first step... | 09:08 |
| nicofs | Sysi: only xfce4-power-manager and xscreensaver are running. and I configured them (GUI)... | 09:10 |
| nicofs | Sysi: what would be the bash command to stop and restart xfce4-power-manager? | 09:13 |
| Sysi | killall xfce4-power-manager | 09:17 |
| nicofs | Sysi: the problem still persists... so it's not coming from power manager... | 09:19 |
| Sysi | ps -e | grep power | 09:20 |
| nicofs | nothing | 09:20 |
| TheSheep | kill the screensaver | 09:20 |
| nicofs | TheSheep: done already, right after manager... | 09:21 |
| TheSheep | and still? | 09:21 |
| nicofs | and still. | 09:23 |
| TheSheep | at least you know now that it's neither of them | 09:23 |
| nicofs | TheSheep: ... | 09:24 |
| TheSheep | nicofs: just a thought, does it also happen if you switch to text console? | 09:24 |
| nicofs | TheSheep: you're thinking in terms of bios settings? | 09:25 |
| TheSheep | nicofs: I'm thinking alt+ctrl+f1 (alt+f7 to go back) | 09:25 |
| nicofs | TheSheep: I know how to change to console... and there it dims as well... I meant "Do you suspect it could be a bios setting?" | 09:26 |
| TheSheep | nicofs: I was suspecting it may be the graphics driver, but if it happens in text mode then it can' | 09:26 |
| TheSheep | t | 09:26 |
| TheSheep | so either bios or hardware | 09:27 |
| TheSheep | tried other distros? | 09:27 |
| nicofs | TheSheep: ah... I see... For all I know, it might be BIOS, but if it was BIOS I couldn't do anything about it. mine is fool-proof. I can't change anything apart from boot order... | 09:27 |
| Sysi | why couldn't it be graphics driver if it happens on text console? | 09:28 |
| nicofs | TheSheep: had Lubuntu from USB key yesterday. no dimming | 09:28 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: it could, but it would be less likely | 09:28 |
| TheSheep | nicofs: actually you could stop gdm and see | 09:28 |
| nicofs | TheSheep: I only have gdm-binary, gdm-simple-slav and gdm-session-wor, according to ps -e | grep gdm | 09:31 |
| TheSheep | nicofs: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 09:32 |
| TheSheep | nicofs: in text console | 09:32 |
| TheSheep | oh, gui irc clint | 09:33 |
| TheSheep | clent | 09:33 |
| nicofs | dims even without gdm... | 09:35 |
| TheSheep | :( | 09:35 |

| nicofs | are the energy settings written down somewhere? | 09:36 |
| nicofs | if I just purge power manager and install again? | 09:42 |
| nicofs | I think, all my settings are overruled by something else. even if I hit the power button in the panel (set to "ask what to do"), it simply logs out. it's completely wrong. | 10:03 |
| Sysi | you could try logging out and removing all settings from text console | 10:05 |
| nicofs | where are they stored? | 10:05 |
| Sysi | rm -rf .config/xfce4 | 10:05 |
| nicofs | Sysi: isn't it a bit risky to remove all that? | 10:07 |
| Sysi | it just makes it to load default settings | 10:07 |
| nicofs | ok... just log out or stop the xfce session? | 10:08 |
| Sysi | works better then | 10:08 |
| nicofs | ok... back in a moment... | 10:09 |
| nicofs | no change... | 10:17 |
