| CrazyH | xubuntu 19.10 / XCFE-4. How do I get the screen to stop timing out and turning black? No matter what I set the screen saver / power settings to it keeps happening | 13:38 |
| CrazyH | First the machine turns the screen black... then about 10 mins later my monitor shuts off because it sees nothing but black screen | 13:38 |
| Priem19 | CrazyH, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1165233/laptop-screen-is-black-after-restart/1165240#1165240 | 13:53 |
| Priem19 | Perhaps that's the problem | 13:53 |
| Priem19 | gotta run, bb | 13:53 |
| CrazyH | Thanks for the info. | 14:23 |
| CrazyH | I'm not running laptop, so I don't see light-locker running on my system | 14:23 |
| CrazyH | I disabled it in power setting manager | 14:24 |
| CrazyH | if that fails, I'll try shutting down upowerd | 14:24 |
| CrazyH | Killing upowerd didn't help. Doing all of the stuff in the link that Priem19 gave didn't help | 17:30 |
| GridCube | CrazyH: change the options on the powersettings menu | 17:38 |
| CrazyH | GridCube, That's the first thing I did. It doesn't work | 17:39 |
| GridCube | https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/preferences#display | 17:39 |
| GridCube | tried to turn it off? | 17:39 |
| CrazyH | I tried it two different ways: | 17:42 |
| CrazyH | 1. Power management turned on, but all timeouts set to "never" | 17:43 |
| CrazyH | 2. power managment turned off completely | 17:43 |
| CrazyH | neither one works | 17:43 |
| GridCube | mmm | 17:48 |
| CrazyH | So I've tried: turning power management off the proper way 2 different ways. I've tried killing power manager. I've tried killing and renaming upowerd ( because it auto restarts ) and I tried looking light-control ( or whatever it was called ). Doesn't exist. This is a Desktop, not a laptop | 17:48 |
| CrazyH | I don't even know what else to do except to maybe start poking around with Dconf | 17:49 |
| GridCube | maybe the modifications are not being read properly in the config file? could you try login off and removing the ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, while logged off, then log back in so the file gets respawned and see if changes take effect? | 17:52 |
| CrazyH | So log off, then use a virtual console? | 18:05 |
| CrazyH | I'll give it a shot | 18:05 |
| CrazyH | GridCube, the contents of that file: https://bpaste.net/AZCQ | 18:09 |
| CrazyH | The last line looks like it might be the issue | 18:09 |
| GridCube | yeah, it probably should say "unit" and not uint | 18:10 |
| GridCube | but maybe not, theres' a lot uint | 18:10 |
| GridCube | oh its u int, no idea what it means | 18:11 |
| GridCube | i guess it's correct then | 18:11 |
| GridCube | this is the new file or the one that has respawned? | 18:11 |
| GridCube | you could try setting that to 0 anyway ? | 18:11 |
| CrazyH | I haven't done anything yet. The first thing I did was just read the file | 18:12 |
| GridCube | oh | 18:12 |
| GridCube | :P good idea | 18:12 |
| CrazyH | The problem is this line: <property name="inactivity-on-ac" type="uint" value="14"/> <-- I'm assuming that 14 means 14 mins | 18:12 |
| CrazyH | When I run xfce power manager, it gives me no option mentioning anything about being on AC power ( Probably because this is not a lap top ) | 18:13 |
| GridCube | mmhm | 18:13 |
| CrazyH | Therefore, I can not change that setting using the power manager | 18:13 |
| GridCube | i see | 18:13 |
| GridCube | well modify it here then | 18:13 |
| GridCube | just set it to 0 | 18:13 |
| CrazyH | yeah... that | 18:13 |
| CrazyH | I'll see if that works | 18:13 |
| GridCube | it's rather safe to do, again, you can just get it back to default by removing it and loging back it | 18:14 |
| CrazyH | Do I now have to reboot a certain program to load the value? | 18:14 |
| GridCube | mmmm, i don't think so?, but maybe modify a different thing in the power-manager so it records that a change has been made? | 18:15 |
| GridCube | i think there should be an option to apply changes on xfce4-power-manager | 18:15 |
| GridCube | xfce4-power-manager --restart | 18:16 |
| CrazyH | I tried that and several other things with xfce-power-manger | 18:19 |
| CrazyH | It keeps changing that value back to 14 | 18:20 |
| CrazyH | It seems to be a default value | 18:20 |
| GridCube | mmmm | 18:20 |
| GridCube | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=215999 | 18:21 |
| CrazyH | ok, maybe I was wrong. I edited the file again, then ran xfce4-power-manager --restart several times. Now the value stays at 0 | 18:23 |
| GridCube | >Remember that the property /xfce4-power-manager/inactivity-on-ac has to be configured to have a value of 14 (which corresponds to ‘Never’ in the Xfce Power Manager settings GUI) for every user. | 18:23 |
| GridCube | i'm very confused | 18:24 |
| GridCube | XD | 18:24 |
| CrazyH | The config file, the line that we have been focused on. It had a value of 14. At first I wasn't able to change it, because the power manager would just change it back to 14. | 18:26 |
| CrazyH | Well, now I am able to change it to 0, and when i retart the power manager it stays at 0 | 18:26 |
| GridCube | ok | 18:27 |
| CrazyH | But... apparently 14 is what I wanted in the first place? | 18:27 |
| GridCube | yeah, that's what i'm not understanding | 18:27 |
| GridCube | but try to see what happens if you keep it at zero | 18:27 |
| GridCube | i think that 0 is what you want in this case | 18:27 |
| CrazyH | I'll let you know. I'll come back in an hour or so. if my monitor is not black... then 0 is the ticket | 18:29 |
| CrazyH | GridCube, it does seem to be working with the setting of 0 | 19:44 |
| CrazyH | Maybe there is a difference between the code and the documentation? | 19:45 |
| CrazyH | Because it says that 14 is supposed to be the value that works for this? | 19:45 |
| GridCube | Mmhm | 19:45 |
| GridCube | No idea CrazyH | 19:46 |
| GridCube | Sorry | 19:46 |
