Stories similar to [xubuntu] xfce4 power manager not turning screen off

Hello guys,

I want to run some commands at startup, how do I do that?

Using N4 with 4.2.1

When I use the built in screenshot (power button + holding volume down) - the screenshot looks awesome. But when I send it as an mms to my friend (who also has the exact same phone) the picture is significantly degraded.

The same happens when he sends me a screenshot.

Is this an issue with my MMS settings?

I don't see any problem with it. Try disabling screensaver and DPMS and see if your screen still turns off.xset s 0 0; xset dpms 0 0 0; xset -dpmsIf you want to revert your settings back:xset s 600 600; xset dpms 600 0 900More info here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DPMS

DPMS Continually Re-enabled 43 weeks 1 day ago

Becoming a bit annoyed here. Using the graphical configuration tool for KDE, I have disabled power management stuff. This is a desktop for my personal use, and I am not interested in monitor blanking. The screen, however, continues to blank.

I have determined that the culprit is DPMS. xset q output shows that DPMS is enabled.

This is the oddest thing I've ever seen. When I take a screenshot of a window or my desktop, I instead receive an older copy of the window or screenshot. What I mean, is that once I take a screenshot using gnome screenshot tool, I will forever get that screenshot when I try and take another. I'm running with the open drivers, under and amd/ati card.

Hello, I want to disable display power management.

I tried to achieve this by disabling 'Enable display power management' checkbox in the 'Configure Desktop -> Display -> Power Control' KDE configuration dialog. That didn`t help and display still goes into standby mode after some period of inactivity.
