[SOLVED] BUG:"blank after" in display not working[LITE]

I'm curious why it is not working even tho it is set to "Never" it still goes blank after 4-5 minutes. There is a way to "solve" it but it might not be a solution for everyone. I solved it using "Screensaver" and put it idle after 1440 minutes (equals to 24 hours) which is max as I can get.

Solution:

Code:

xset dpms 0 0 0 && xset s noblank  && xset s off

I just hope that in the future, user doesn't have to use this code instead a proper display setting.

If I recall correctly, you are using Gnome.
I know that in Zorin Lite (XFCE), the solution is to turn the screensaver off.
According to some old Ubuntu Docs, it can be disabled: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-h ... nk.html.en
Maybe a gconf setting may help?

Back to you Aravisian - he is a Lite user - which you have responded to previously.

Oh. I forgot.
They all look the same to me after a while...

Quenyan, can you kick this into a terminal

Code:

xset dpms 0 0 0 && xset s noblank  && xset s off

and punch the enter key with your fist?

I'm so sorry all, I am a Lite user, I forgot to put the information in the post, I was intent to, but forgot while typing the post. haha

So, basically the option in "Power Management" is basically total disfunction right?

If I punch the {enter} key, then would it be like I got ', [, ], \, and {shift} altogether too then? haha jokes

Part of computer operation includes teaching that computer to respect your authority;)
This is an XFCE bug. There is more than one setting and part of this is because there is a lot of variation on Hardware. Usually, this enables the user being able to make the appropriate settings on diverse hardware, but on occasion, it makes it difficult to get the hardware to actually listen to you.

Too bad that this bug is there, just hope for the best future of zorin. I also glad that it does not take long to solve this problem. Thank you for both of you who already participated in this problem solving ceremony.
