Porteus

Hi,

on Porteus-LXDE 32 bit running on USB stick, I had to add:
* set -dpms
* set x off
to rc.local in order to disable dpms and screensaver and it worked nicely.

However, doing so on Porteus-LXDE 64 bit does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

PS: The forum search doesn't work... It lasts "forever" and gives an empty page on any query.

Yes, searching isn't working and still getting the JSON errors even with mchat empty and the reply box suppressed.

Use a search engine and add this to the search: site=forum.porteus.org It works with Google and DuckDuckGo.

Try site=forum.porteus.org dpms site:forum.porteus.org dpms

Try site=forum.porteus.org dpms

gives 9 results

better syntax dpms site:forum.porteus.org = 159 results (google).

Interesting results donald.

Using Google with dpms site:forum.porteus.org I get 93 results and with site:forum.porteus.org dpms I get 74 results. A difference yes but not like yours.

....because you now use the : in both variants and not the = like proposed before...

@ Olaf

Try this:
open home/guest/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
and add
@xset s 0 0
@xset -dpms

These settings "should" survive a reboot -- check with xset q

Come on, a = character is just a : character stretched out.

Thanks for clarification.

Hi,

thanks all for the hints.

@donald,
didn't try it yet but will do asap.

The commands I wrote on the first post were wrong as I wrote them on a early usage experiment while testing Porteus.

Just to clarify how I solved it in case someone has the same issue:

1) Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
2) Add the Option lines to the ServerLayout section as in:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
EndSection

3) Same on Monitor section:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS" "false"
EndSection

4) Add this section at the very end:

Section "Extensions"
Option "DPMS" "Disable"
EndSection

5) Reboot and dpms/screen blanking should go forever. Tested both in Porteus LXDE 32 and 64 bit.

6) Enjoy Porteus...
