As near as I can tell the gnome power manager and gnome screensaver implement some kind of gnome specific replacement for the low level "xset" type operations, yet they don't bother disabling the low level xset settings even when they conflict with the gnome settings, so you wind up with both of them taking effect at unexpected times. There have also been a fantastic number of bugs with the gnome power manager which would do things like trigger screen blanking even though you just typed something about 3 seconds ago (even if you thought you had disabled the gnome power manager). I tend to yum erase gnome-power-manager these days and add startup entries to run xset commands to get more reliable screen blanking when I actually expect it to happen. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

screensaver vs dpms
$ uname -r 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.i686.PAE In my system, the screensaver (blanking the screen) seems to be working as expected. But, I am also experiencing occasional dpms-like "suspend" blanking, (I am sure it is "suspend" and not "standby") which I don't want, and worse, I can't find out what is causing this response. I don't have an xorg.conf, and would rather keep it that way. If I get out of X via ctl-alt-bs, and then back in via startx, then xset q shows standby, suspend, off all at 0, ie disabled. So what else in f11 can be exciting that "suspend"? I have done some googling, but no help so far. Are there F11 guidelines for using both screensaver and dpms?

F11: Screensaver - causes system to hang, daily
After all of this time testing out F11, I had originally thought there was something wrong with FireFox/Thunderbird, or simply xorg. It was causing my system to completely hang and a hard reboot was required. There is no system logs ever reported, just a gap of dead-time when the system hung to when it was booted. I seemed to have finally narrowed it down and have not experienced daily complete systems hangs after disabling the Gnome ScreenSaver. I tried GSS with a blank screen and everything else I could think of and it does not prevent the hanging problem. But if I completely disable the GSS, i.e. uncheck both: (1) "Activate screensaver when computer is idle" (2) "Lock screen when screensaver is active" My system has been running F11 for a week now, and it has not hung at all. Unfortunately, my computer is without security, short of logging out. Has anyone else experienced this problem? My system is a ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 if that helps.

I don't know about activating it manually -- I believe there's a way, but I haven't used it. Someone else will have to answer that part. I just did "yum remove gnome-screensaver" -- which took with it some of the other things above. I don't expect to miss them; in fact, I was surprised I hadn't done it before on this machine. If you do the same, you may also wish to go to Main Menu > System > Preferences; highlight and right click on Screensaver; tell it to put it on your panel. That will make further tweaks more convenient. To check, right-click the icon, and choose Properties. The command box should now say "xscreensaver-demo" Close the Properties box, and left-click the icon. It should open a Preferences box, with the Display Modes tab displayed. In the bottom left corner is a check-box saying "Lock Screen After." Checking it will let you enter a number of minutes -- and it will require your user password to get back to the display every time. That is what I think you want. If you don't want to require the password, make sure the check- box is empty. Then the screensaver should stop and revert to your desktop whenever you touch the mouse or a key. There are lots more choices and controls. From this point, you should be safe to play with them till you find a preference -- or just leave them as they are.

Screensaver in F11 loses horizontal sync
I searched both Google and the archives of this list, but could not find the magic keys to produce useful answers. I downloaded the Fedora 11(*) live CD and used it to install on two boxen. Both are showing the same problem. Everything works well until the screen saver kicks in. At that point the display loses sync and shows torn jagged diagonal lines across the screen. Any normal input triggers a recovery and returns to my regularly scheduled programs. Fedora 11, KDE Box 1: Dell GX270 SFF P-4/Xeon 2.6 GHz 512 MB DDR RAM 20 GB IDE drive Intel 865 Video Chip Box 2: White box P-4/Celeron 1.0 GHz 512 MB DDR RAM 60 GB IDE drive Apollo ProMedia PLE133T/a Video chip Both boxes are talking to a Dell E173FP display through a Compaq KVM. Display resolution is 1280x1024. Where can I find instructions on how to re-configure the screen saver so it inherits the correct video settings? Where are the rest of the video settings saved so I can enable some of the options that don't show up? For example, in System Settings->Dislay the second box only shows a 60 Hz Refresh option. I need to enable and select 75 Hz. The file I was expecting, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, is not there. Where can I find instructions on how to install and switch to XFCE? Bob McConnell N2SPP (*) I am trying out Fedora 11 for several reasons. First, at work we just switched hosting providers which also means we switched our servers from Red Hat to CentOS. After the switch, IT will no longer be managing our external or internal servers. So I need to learn enough about the environment to keep the development and QA servers in sync with the hosted servers. Second, Slackware 13 does not play well with the Intel video chips in most of my Dell computers. i.e. both the live CD and install CD produce unusable configurations even in CLI modes. I have been using Slackware since 1993, when it replaced my original Soft Landing Systems 1.02 system (kernel 0.99pl12). But I have not been happy with many of the recent choices made by that group. These two reasons finally shoved me past the tipping point to begin leaving Slackware. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

FC11: gnome-screensaver stop working under fluxbox
Dear Fedora users, I'm using FLUXBOX as my desktop manager (without GNOME) and GNOME-SCREENSAVER as my screensaver program. I've noticed that GNOME-SCREENSAVER does not automatically blank the screen anymore; it should blank the screen after 5 minutes but even after +/- an hour, for instance, the screen is not blanked even if GNOME-SCREENSAVER is up and running. Trying to query the status of GNOME-SCREENSAVER, I get: $ gnome-screensaver-command -q The screensaver is inactive The screensaver is not inhibited and if I force to activate the screensaver: $ gnome-screensaver-command -a or to lock my screen: $ gnome-screensaver-command -l It works perfectly. Please note: just to check if GNOME-SCREENSAVER worked I've tried to use GNOME instead of FLUXBOX and... Yes under GNOME all is OK I used to use FLUXBOX + GNOME-SCREENSAVER since FC10 and under FC10 all worked perfectly. Any idea to let GNOME-SCREENSAVER work under FLUXBOX again?

You're getting confused when you see xscreensaver*-gss in the gnome-screensaver dependency list.

xscreensaver{,-gl}-extras-gss is not needed when you want to use xscreensaver.
They are needed when you want to use xscreensaver hacks with
gnome-screensaver.

I do the following horrible hack: Hide the first of the System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Screensaver entries as this is the gnome-screensaver one. To get GNOME to run xscreensaver I do a bit of a hack by renaming the gnome-screensaver program, and then symlinking the xscreensaver program to gnome-screensaver. # cd /usr/bin # mv gnome-screensaver gnome-screensaver.old # ln -s xscreensaver gnome-screensaver I said it was horrible :-) Steve -- Play Champions - my free football predictions game at: http://www.stevesearle.com/champs/about.html 15:55:16 up 18 days, 2:19, 1 user, load average: 0.16, 0.05, 0.09 pgpyJBd8DBrO3.pgp Description: PGP signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
Screensaver usurpation
This is far from new; I've seen it with the last several releases of Fedora, and keep forgetting to ask about it. I happen to prefer xscreensaver, which always insists on installation that gnome-screensaver be installed, too. So I install it, and make sure it's xscreensaver that I run. Often, however, it stops working after a while. When that happens, and I launch it, it gives me two messages. One says gnome- screensaver's daemon, or something, is running, and asks whether to stop it. Given that, it then says its own is not running, and asks whether to start. I've tried the big hammer more than once -- told yum to remove gnome-screensaver; but it always threatens to take xscreensaver with it. Is there anything I can do about this usurpation?

fedora 9 toshiba satellite A300 display brightness and screensaver

I have set the brightness to be around 15% via the System -> Preferences -> System -> Power Management. When the laptop first boots up it has the right brightness. Only when it wakes up after the screen saver has kicked in that the brightness is back to 100%. The screen saver is set to Blank Screen. Grateful for any suggestions.

screensaver is slightly buried.

Under the menu icon lower left, right click on an item
and select "save to panel"
I'd still like to know how to make the screensaver

There is some setting in xconfig or one of those

Your efforts to adjust the KDE screen saver can be
frustrated by dpms.
dpms is normally setup to blank your screen after 10
minutes. It will
look like the blank screen saver has come on. Dpms is
controlled with
xset. "xset q" prints a longer report than this.
Look for "DPMS" about
two thirds of the way down:
[]$ xset q
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 1200 Suspend: 1800 Off: 2400
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
This will blank the screen in X in 10 minutes (1200 would
be 20 minutes,
but in every case, my screns blanked in 10 minutes).
[]$ xset dpms 0 0 0
[]$ xset q
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
I set up a script as ~/.kde/Autostart/dpms000 including:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/sleep 5; /usr/bin/xset dpms 0 0 0
The sleep statement was necessary in Fedora and Slackware,
but not in
Debian. I originally named the script dpms-off, but it
would not work in
Debian. The xset man page shows other ways to turn off
dpms, but they
would not work in my machines. Before doing this, the KDE
screen saver
would work at all, unless I set it to come on in less than
ten minutes.
If I set the screen saver to come at 5 minutes, it would
come for 5
minutes, and then the screen went blank. I don't
remember this problem
before fedora 6 or 7.
Incidentally, KDE can be setup with shutdown scripts, also.
~/.kde/shutdown/restoresound :
#!/bin/sh
cp /home/bob/sys.setup/sound/kmixctrlrc \
/home/bob/.kde/share/config/kmixctrlrc
restores my desired Kmix default sound levels when I
logout, so there
won't be any rude surprises when I next start KDE.

My screensaver KDE 4.1.1 works great using the dialog provided
and with nothing else.
I used kpowersave to allow the screensaver to run indefinitely.
I could not find kpowersave in the lower left icon menus.
I found it at the panel lower right in the form of a little plug.
Whadaya call this section again..it slips my memory
Ooops... I had wondered why I was the only one with this problem.
Oh well... At least I learned more about xset.

It will look like the blank screen saver has come on. Dpms is controlled with xset. "xset q" prints a longer report than this. Look for "DPMS" about two thirds of the way down: []$ xset q DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 1200 Suspend: 1800 Off: 2400 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On This will blank the screen in X in 10 minutes (1200 would be 20 minutes, but in every case, my screns blanked in 10 minutes). []$ xset dpms 0 0 0 []$ xset q DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On I set up a script as ~/.kde/Autostart/dpms000 including: #!/bin/sh /bin/sleep 5; /usr/bin/xset dpms 0 0 0 The sleep statement was necessary in Fedora and Slackware, but not in Debian. I originally named the script dpms-off, but it would not work in Debian. The xset man page shows other ways to turn off dpms, but they would not work in my machines. Before doing this, the KDE screen saver would work at all, unless I set it to come on in less than ten minutes. If I set the screen saver to come at 5 minutes, it would come for 5 minutes, and then the screen went blank. I don't remember this problem before fedora 6 or 7. Incidentally, KDE can be setup with shutdown scripts, also. ~/.kde/shutdown/restoresound : #!/bin/sh cp /home/bob/sys.setup/sound/kmixctrlrc \ /home/bob/.kde/share/config/kmixctrlrc restores my desired Kmix default sound levels when I logout, so there won't be any rude surprises when I next start KDE.

Do you mean that you want it to run "forever" without terminating when on a keypress or mouse movement? If you tell xscreensaver to lock the screen it won't exit to the desktop until you enter your password. Or you can just run the demo that you want directly without going through xscreensaver. (As an aside, xmame with the right game in attract mode makes a lovely "demo" on a spare machine.) -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I tried to do that but nothing happened, In kde3 I was able to create an application launcher for a specific application (eg xterm) on the desktop and then drag that icon onto the system panel, from which the application could be started with a single click.
