| nova | After recently dist upgrading a VM and a physical PC, both seem to blank the screen after about 5 minutes even when I disable the screensaver, Screen Lock and monitor power management. In the case of the VM I have also tried uninstalling the xfce4-screensaver and light-locker. Can anyone tell me what is blacking out my screen and how to prevent it? Thank you in advance. | 02:31 |

| well_laid_lawn | nova: in a terminal can you run xset -q | grep timeout | 02:37 |
| nova | well_laid_lawn, it returns no results | 02:46 |
| nova | well_laid_lawn: which is strange because xset -q does return "timeout: 0" | 02:48 |
| nova | well_laid_lawn: sorry I made a typo... xset -q | grep timeout returns this: | 02:49 |
| nova | timeout: 0 cycle: 600 | 02:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | well, 0 is less than 5 minutes so it must be something else. I don't now what thogh if the screensaver has been removed | 02:50 |
| nova | Thanks for your input just the same. | 02:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | you could try | 02:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | xset s off | 02:53 |
| Bashing-om | nova: 'xset dpms 0 s off' This will set it so the screensaver and power manager never kick unless you want them to. | 02:54 |
| nova | thank I'll try that | 02:55 |
| nova | Thank you* | 02:55 |
| xubuntu61w | Does anyone know how to get qt5ct to work for root applications like gparted, synaptic... | 17:53 |
| xubuntu61w | I think I just figured it out. I have the themes installed locally for my home user. I'll try relocating them and rebooting. Sorry for the dumb question | 18:13 |
