Re: [gentoo-user] Freezing during bootstrapping/building

You mean even pressing shift key won't unblank? By default Linux blanks the screen but a keypress brings it back. When I get to a point that it works I do\

setterm -blank 0
to disable blanking/

Hi,

It's running fine, but as soon as I leave the computer alone the screen goes blank. This is normal, linux often does this. But if I leave it for even longer (a few minutes in this state) then I will be unable to access my system. No key presses will bring the screen back so I can watch the rsyncing and building, and even my power button is disabled, I have to reset or yank the power cord!
