I have an Ubuntu 12.04 machine running a graphics application.
I connect to the machine via ssh and I want to see what is happening in the screen, for this purpose I use scrot (to take a screenshot). The problem is that after a couple of hours I just see a black screen.
Hi,
I can easily set the number of workspaces and the workspace names with the gconftool-2, as follows:
gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 4
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/workspace_names/name_1 Dev
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/workspace_names/name_2 Docs
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/workspace_names/name_3 VM
I've got an Ubuntu 12.04 system with Awesome WM, and I'd like the screensaver to work like in Unity:
GNOME Screensaver
Ctrl-Alt-L to lock
N minutes' timeout which respects applications which temporarily disable the screensaver
The keyboard shortcut was relatively easy:
-- Lock screen
awful.key(
{ "Mod1", "Control" },
"l",
function ()
awful.util.spawn("gnome-screensaver-com
I have a couple of question regarding the screen blanker on Gnome desktop.
I used to use a 1024x768 display with previous openSUSE distribution. With 11.3, I discovered the new "auto-configure" X feature. The default screen mode was 1600x1200, but I changed it to 1280x1024.
im running Ubuntu 11.10 & am using the Gnome interface. I have installed the Gnome power manager and I am assuming this is it:
This doesn't have that many options. I've seem some screen shots of the power manager and they seem to show the gnome power manager with alot of the options I want to have control over.
Hello,I have gnome3 and gnome-power-manager installed to two different systems. In both cases I can not get the power manager to suspend the computers. Maybe I don't understand what power manager is supposed to do? My interpretation is that if I check the box that says put computer to sleep after xx minutes that it will automatically suspend after xx time period of inactivity.
First of all, I'm aware a similar question for GNOME is asked here: "Switch off laptop backlight when locking screen".
Objective
I would like to turn off my screen on locking the session for power saving reasons.
Actual problem
Locking the screen on Kubuntu (KDE) inevitably triggers the screensaver as far as I can see.
I have decided to replace Xfce4-power-manager with gnome-power-manager in Lubuntu 12.04 (didn't knew how to disable the tray icon in fact), which I did using synaptic, and now it shows:
But gnome-power-manager is nowhere to be found.
Searching for the file, I only see this:
There is only /usr/bin/gnome-power-statistics
Shouldn't be a gnome-power-manager executable and with options that shou
