Laptop and screen saver, sleep mode [SOLVED]

yoda · 2020-02-24 19:29:07

I just clean installed, Titanium,on a small HP Laptop

After a while not using the laptop, the display is dimmed (Dark), it's ok.

But if I wait a bit, and touch the keyboard, the screen does not come back.

I have to CTRL + ALT + F1 then F7, then it says that in a few secondes I will be redirected to a login screen and I can log back...

Anyway to avoid this ?

tks !
My latop is encrypted in case that changes something...

What is Titanium?

Lithium I am guessing ...

@yoda

Edit the OpenBox "autostart" file and add these lines:

### Stop screen from going black ###
(xset -dpms && xset s off) &

That should do it.

EDIT:

-dpms   The -dpms option disables DPMS (Energy Star) features.

       s       The s option lets you set the screen saver parameters.  This option accepts up to two numer‐
               ical  parameters,  a  'blank/noblank'  flag, an 'expose/noexpose' flag, an 'on/off' flag, an
               'activate/reset' flag, or the 'default' flag.  If no parameters or  the  'default'  flag  is
               used,  the  system  will  be  set to its default screen saver characteristics.  The 'on/off'
               flags simply turn the screen saver functions on or off.  The 'activate' flag forces  activa‐
               tion  of screen saver even if the screen saver had been turned off.  The 'reset' flag forces
               deactivation of screen saver if it is active.  The 'blank' flag sets the preference to blank
               the  video  (if  the  hardware  can  do  so) rather than display a background pattern, while
               'noblank' sets the preference to display a pattern rather than blank the  video.   The  'ex‐
               pose' flag sets the preference to allow window exposures (the server can freely discard win‐
               dow contents), while 'noexpose' sets the preference  to  disable  screen  saver  unless  the
               server  can  regenerate  the screens without causing exposure events.  The length and period
               parameters for the screen saver function determines how long the server must be inactive for
               screen saving to activate, and the period to change the background pattern to avoid burn in.
               The arguments are specified in seconds.  If only one numerical parameter is given,  it  will
               be used for the length.

Depends on the forum theme set in your Profile, I think.

This thread begs for a BL edition named LITHANIUM ... perhaps instead of edition BL-Uranusium? 8o 8o

Now, the last thing to fix is :
if I close the LID, when opening the lid, I have to CTRL F1 then F7, then I see :
" this session is locked, you'll ve redirected to the unlock windo dialog automatically in a few seconds..." and NOTHING happen.... Have to reboot from TTY1
