allanlaal commented 3 years ago

use case: sysadmins dont need screens blanking when hours/days long processes are running in grml :)

zeha commented 3 years ago

Which use case are we talking about?

General shells running on any system (configuration from grml-etc-core) or while running from the Grml Live CD/ISO?

(After https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a4199f5eb8096d63828f7333fa45650a7b0a99ed console blanking should already be off on VTs)

sorry, I'm talking about the xfce graphical grml desktop

mika commented 3 years ago

I suppose you mean our fluxbox desktop manager then, that's the one we provide on Grml :)

FTR: It should be enough to set xset s off -dpms to prevent screen from blanking (that's what I'm doing in a commercial Grml flavour of mine).

mika commented 3 years ago

I'll move this issue to the appropriate project/place (grml-desktop), grml-etc-core doesn't fit at all :)

allanlaal commented 3 years ago

yes, fluxbox :)

I propose we set xset s off -dpms as default in grml
