[10:50] <craysiii> i dont think i asked this here before, but i have an issue with my multiple monitor setup, where when the computer goes idle, one of the monitors stays backlit even though there is nothing on the screen
[10:50] <craysiii> anyone suffer from the same?
[10:53] <sam_yan> how did  gnome-session be  started?
[10:54] <craysiii> what do you mean
[10:55] <sam_yan> I want  to know how did mdm or gdm start a gnome-session ?
[10:56] <sam_yan> maybe x11 starts a gnome-session
[10:56] <craysiii> how can i check that
[10:56] <craysiii> im on standard ubuntu gnome 15.10
[10:58] <sam_yan> what do you mean?
[11:19] <mgedmin> I think craysiii thinks sam_yan is asking for more information in order to help with craysiii's DPMS issue
[11:19] <mgedmin> but I think sam_yan is asking an unrelated question
[11:19] <craysiii> ya tahts what i thought, and then realized that, so i stfu
[11:20] <craysiii> all i want is for all the damn screens to turn off lol i can get either 2 off and 1 stays on (backlit) or 1 goes off and 2 stay on (backlit)
[11:20] <craysiii> (yes i have 3 monitors)
[11:25] <mgedmin> AFAIU it's gnome-settings-daemon that tells the X server to put the monitors to sleep
[11:25] <mgedmin> so try to figure out if the bug is in g-s-d, or the X server, or the X video driver, or the kernel video driver
[11:25] <mgedmin> now, as to how -- very good question, I've no idea
[11:30] <craysiii> hm
[11:31] <craysiii> i feel like this is going to be a tough one to tackle
[11:33] <craysiii> so, when i turn on idling and set to 1 minute, the two secondary monitors turn off, but when i run "gnome-screensaver-command --lock xset dpms force off" then the primary turns off and the secondary monitors stay on. nothing on the screens but backlight, and a mouse if i allow it to idle through settings
[11:33] <craysiii> its either only the primary or the secondaries that are affected
[11:53] <mgedmin> gnome-screensaver-command? how come?
[11:54] <mgedmin> ubuntu-gnome doesn't use gnome-screensaver
[15:37] <ballmer> any ideas why Caja won't appear in desktop search, although i can access it from an extension?
[18:58] <eliasps> Hello. Anyone has GNOME 3.19 on xenial? Somehow after an upgrade I was dealing with a D-Bus issue that returned back to the login screen everytime I tried to login. After another upgrade it boots directly into gnome-shell as user "GNOME DIsplay Manager". Any ideas on how to fix that? Thank you
[19:45] <craysiii> mgedmin i was using some old posts to try to mess with it. I finally got it to work with sleep 1 && xset dpms force off, but it didnt lock the screen
[22:25] <darkxst> eliasps, not seen that here
[23:30] <mephux> hey, whats the best way to boot to a terminal prompt vs gdm
