| cart_man | Hey everyone. I have Ubuntu-mate installed on my SBC. I am trying to figure out how to force the screen to switch off via bash? | 18:55 |
|---|---|---|
| superkuh | xrandr --output *monitorname* --off | 19:11 |
| superkuh | xset dpms force off | 19:11 |
| superkuh | Either, the first is more flexible. | 19:12 |
| cart_man | superkuh: although now it does not seem to switch on when I ask it to by moving the moues or the keyboard etc | 19:23 |
| cart_man | superkuh: I did the following -> xrandr --output *monitorname* --off; sleep 5; xrandr --output *monitorname* --on | 19:24 |
| cart_man | But it does not switch on after 5 seconds | 19:24 |
| cart_man | can also not switch it on using SSH | 19:24 |
| superkuh | I assume you didn't actually use "*monitorname*" and put your monitor name there? | 20:51 |
| superkuh | Just type $ xrandr by itself to get a listing of the monitors. | 20:53 |
| superkuh | Then use the name from there, not *monitorname* | 20:53 |
| superkuh | It'll be something like VGA-0 or DVI-D-0 or HDMI-A-0 or the like, and it'll say, "connected primary" on the line. | 20:55 |
