Changing display dim

Hi guys.
I have arch running on my laptop with gnome3.
The display is dimmed after few seconds that I'm not active. Very often, I'm reading text or staring my code on my machine and this is annoying. Power management doesn't have any option to cancel this.
How can I manipulate this?

Check out Settings -> Screen and uncheck dimming.
Although it didnt work for me :
I personnally chose tu use laptop-mode-tools (see wiki) on my T420 to control the brightness. It works nicely BUT and here is the thing: Gnome keeps dimming my brightness anyway even if I unchecked this. In dconf-editor under org.gnome.powermanager there is no option.
I do remember Gnome 3.0 having options in dconf-editor to deactivate display dimming and leave it to hardware.
Sorry for not being able to help. I actually wanted to post a thread about this but I saw yours and it seemed related.

  • New macbook pro display dims in and out

    I just got my new macbook pro a few weeks ago. The display dims in and out at times, why does this happen? What can I do to fix it? I really don't wanna replace it already or what not.

    Welcome to the Forums!
    Most likely the ambient light sensor - the system is set to automatically adjust brightness based on changing light conditions. You can test this out - put your hands over both speakers and your display should dim quite a bit. To turn this feature off, go to System Preferences > Displays > Display tab and UNcheck the box for Automatically adjust brightness.

  • T530 Win 8 64 w Intel HD Graphics 4000 display 'dims'

    I have a problem that is similar to others listed in the forums but the listed solutions either don't apply or don't work for me.
    Configuration:
    T530 2394CTO
    Windows 8 64 bit
    Bios G4ET96ww (2.56)
    Issue:
    When the screen is largely dark, the display 'dims'. I have a dark desktop image so, for instance, if I minimize active windows, the display dims. The brightness setting is not changing so on the brightness setting it still shows full brightness. When I then switch to a mostly white window it then takes maybe 4 or 5 seconds for the white to change from off-white to bright white. As long as there is significant portion of the built-in screen that is light colored it stays that way. As soon as the majority of the screen is 'dark' it dims again.
    It is not the Intel HD Graphics Drivers as suggested here.
    If I check the drivers with Lenovo System Update they show as up to date. There is a more recent version on the Intel site but if I try to install it it says my computer does not meet the requirements.
    It is not the adaptive brightness settings as suggested here and here.
    On my version this setting does not show up in the Intel Graphics and Media control panel but there is a setting in the advanced power plan settings and I have disabled the adaptive brightness there.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Dali99GRT,
    I see you have several questions today. I will do my best to help you with them.
    The difference between an Integrated and a Dedicated Graphics card are as follows: (information from Top Ten Reviews)
    Integrated
    An integrated graphics processing unit (GPU) doesn't use its own RAM; it utilizes the system's memory instead. So, if you have a computer with 4GB of RAM, the video card can use anywhere between one and five percent of the available memory for graphics processing. Of course, this percentage varies depending on the size of the task, especially if you're multitasking or playing a game.
    Dedicated
    A dedicated, or discrete, GPU has its own independent source of video memory, leaving the RAM your system uses untouched. If you have a GeForce GTX 680M video card with 2GB of video memory, for example, that memory is completely separate from your computer's 8GB of system memory. Dedicated cards are perfect if you are into serious gaming or are a professional graphic designer.
    As for the Approx. Total Memory this is the video memory of your graphics card. Your Intel Graphics card, is an integrated graphics card, that is most likely shared memory. This means some of the video memory is taken from your RAM or system memory. That being said, Windows 8.1 may not use as much of the video Graphics to run as Windows 7 does.
    And the detailed information for the External VGA card, I am at a loss. Your best bet is to check out some websites like Amazon or CNET for this. I did find this information on How good are USB video cards? that may help you with your decision making.
    I hope this information helps, please let me know.
    Thank you and I hope you have a great day!

  • How to disable the  'Change - Display' Button in Cluster via SM34 ?

    Hi
    I have a View Cluster maintained with a transaction wich calls  SM34 passing it the Cluster.
    I need the dialog be only in display mode, so i'm looking for a way to disable the button Change<->Display.
    Does somebody knows how can i do this ? maybe with an event, the button does not appears or well making the button does not change the display mode (does not change the field VIEW_ACTION siwtch from 'S' to 'U')
    Thanks in advanced
    Frank

    Hi Frank,
    On SAP 4.7 Version
    1). Goto SHD0
    2). Enter the transaction code as SM34
    3). ENter the transaction Variant as say ZSM34
    4). Click on the create button --> this will take you to the sm34 screen. If you want to default some value or disable something on this screen just hit enter on this screen. You will get a popup window to select and restrict.
    5). You can further go to next screen and deactivate the menu. On the popup screen you will get a button MENU FUNCTIONS.
    Hope this helps

  • Change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010

    Hi
    How I can change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010. I want to configure display name (from address)of email
     for each site collection separately.for example I want to change "software unit"
     in below pic to another name for my software unit site collection.
    How I can do this?
    Thanx.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010.
    In my environment, if I assign a task to a user, the email is as below:
    The “test” is the site name, the [email protected] is the “From” user.
    Do you want to change the “From” field in the workflow?
    If so, you can have a look at the "Send email extended" custom SPD workflow activity (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities
    ) which allow you to specify the sender.
    Here are some similar threads for your reference:

  • How to get the screen number in the change/display FI Document screen?

    Hi guys,
    I was just wondering if there is a way, in the abap dictionary or otherwise, for me to detect the assigned screen number in the FI Change/Display Document screen (FB02/FB03)?
    I ask this because the screen number changes depending on the line item's posting key and G/L Account from my observation.
    Hope to hear from all of you soon.
    Thank you all and good day.

    Yes you can get by the SHDB transaction
    GO to SHDB. click on the new recording... give the name of the recording as ZFB02.. enter the tcode FI02 and press start recording..
    Put the Document and open all required screens.. you need to put the values in the required fields to be caputred in the recording.
    Come back and save.
    Now, if you are planning to make a BDC to change the FI document than you can use the BAPI BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_CHANGE.

    FROM.
    ### imta.cnf
    tcp_local destinationfilter
    file:///opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/invia.filterWith 6.3 you could use the deleteheader/addheader to remove the From: and replace it with something else - this ability doesn't exist in 6.2.
    What is the correct way ? There are other way ?
    It's possible change the Display Name ? Yes.
    You can change the display name by using the PERSONAL_NAMES mapping table.
    For example to change the following on outgoing email (via tcp_local):
    From: Shane Hjorth <[email protected]>
    to
    From: What The <[email protected]>
    1) Add the personalmap keyword to the tcp_local channel
    2) Add the following mapping table to the mappings file:
    PERSONAL_NAMES
      *|[email protected]   $YWhat$ The3) Rebuild config
    ./imsimta cnbuild; ./imsimta restart
    This is all explained in the messaging server admin guide "Handling Personal Names in Address Header Lines".

  • Display dims with no reasonlem occuring, then for no reason I can thihnk of

    I have a 21" G5 imac. the problem is my display dims for no reason. This is an intermitant problem. I can go for long periods with out the problem then for no reason it will do it again.
    It now dims after about 3 minutes starting up the computer. It does not go blank, just dims somewhat, but because I use the computer to edit photos in Photoshop it makes it unusable for photo work.
    I got the computer in the Summer of 2005 and it was doing it while under warranty but since it was very infrequent I did not report the problem to Apple care. Of course it is now out of warranty.
    Any ideas of what is causing the problem, and what to do?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have a similar problem. The screen will intermittently just go dim. I also decided not to give the machine up for warranty service because it comes and goes. The screen setting always says it is at full brightness. I installed a temperature monitor program, and it seems to be heat related. If I leave the computer sit for a while and the screen to turn off, when I come back it is back to normal. I found that if I put the iMac to sleep, it would re-brighten immediately on waking up. But now the machine usually turns off if I put it to sleep, so I have quit doing that....

  • X230T display dims after BIOS start

    MY X230T was originally supplied with Windows 7 Pro. Apparently as a result of twiddling with the power management options on that platform, the display dims significantly between starting the BIOS and logging in to Windows. Specifically: 1. The BIOS screens are displayed at normal brightness 2. The screen then dims to a very low level while Windows loads. The hotkeys are not active at this time. 3. Under Windows 7, the login screen would remain dim until I pressed a key, or clicked on the screen with the mouse. Under Windows 8, the "lock screen" is already displayed at full brightness. This would not be a big deal, except that when booting another OS from a CD (e.g. Clonezilla Live), the display can remain dim, which makes the SW very difficult to use. Needless to say, the hotkeys also do not work under such foreign OSs. I have moved on to Windows 8 as a result of problems with VSS and can no longer find any such power options, either in the BIOS settings, the Windows Power Options or the Power Management settings in the Lenovo Settings metro app. How can I get the display brightness to remain constant during startup?

    Hey, I have same or similar problems with graphic card on same notebook (P200D 12O PSPBQE):
    Some times, hard to define, probably when computer is connected to the electricity and used for some hours, a strange effect occurs: the background, strangely without the active window looks like it has reduced number of colors to like 16. Maybe 'without active window' means that only certain ranges of colors are affected and mainly white active window is not because of it's white color, just a theory for now.
    The problem is solved either by restarting or by unplugging the power cable. Unplugging the power cable from the computer causes serious not-very-healthy-looking flickering of the screen which after few seconds becomes black and then recovers back to normal. After such recovery, the Vista says something like: the dispaly driver or hardware recovered from serious error. And then the colors are ok again.
    I suspect that in my case the problem is caused by electricity disturbance, probably caused by the older refrigerator, because every time I notice this problem, the refrigerator is on. Or precisely true: I have never seen the problem when refrigerator was not working, at least ofr now. I plugged the computer on other end of appartment, electricaly farther away from refrigerator and on another fuse, but the problem still occurs, but less frequently, I think. I will try to take picture of the problem.
    Quite strange problem, probably hard to present to the people who sold me the computer. Maybe the pictures of the problem will help.

  • Permanent Crash related to changing display settings while FCP is open.

    Recently, the display settings (arrangement) on my two monitors started changing by itself while I was working in FCP 6.5. I'm using ancient monitors (Viewsonic MB90 and Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920. I just don't have the money to upgrade right now). Tis was annoying but I dealt with the problem by creating two different windows layouts. Then things got worse (the only thing I had done was install 8 gigs of additional memory on top of the original 2). FCP started crashing and now I can't even open the application. It doesn't react.
    Apple recently posted a not very informative acknowledgement of the problem with changing display settings while FCP is open, but it doesn't suggest solutions to my problem. It would be helpful to know a) what resolution and refresh rates are best for these old monitors and b)how to open FCP again. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    THIS IS IT!
    Disabling the nVidia deep colors for 3d applications solved the uber-annoying "flicker-screen-settings-and-disrupt/crash-other-programs" issue. I specifically only disabled deep colors for Premiere, not for all 3d applications I use, because none of them have caused the same problem as Premiere.
    This display-screen setting issue probably occurred because I use a Dell u3011 monitor which displays Adobe RGB color gamut, not just sRGB.
    However, now this brings up another question with disabling deep colors (effectively disabling the Adobe RGB use of the Dell monitor):
    QUESTION: If I have CG-rendered frames that seem to be created in sRGB and Adobe RGB (in two different programs), what color space should I be mixing/editing them in?
    I'm somewhat of a novice with the color spectrum/gamut issue. From what I understand, if I edit both CG images in sRGB, I'll be losing color data from the Adobe RGB-created CG image. If I edit both CG images in Adobe RGB, will I create minor banding effects on the sRGB image because it doesn't have the color range that I'm editing in? Perhaps my question is more relevant to AfterEffects compositing of the images rather than simply/only editing them in Premiere.
    The end result is something like an architectural film/ flythrough.
    Thanks,
    -Matt

    Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
    Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
    You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
    * Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    * NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

    Hi Nandish,
    as tibollo said you just need to mark 0CALMONTH with text in RSD1.
    Kindly note that you don't need to do data load for this object.
    It will automatically derive by system.
    Just change the Info object 0CALMONTH in RSD1, Go to Master Data/text column and check mark on with text.

  • Version Management for PO(Set up Change Displays)

    Hi All,
    We have Version Mgt. functionality for POs.
    Pls tell me what is the use of 'Category' field in 'Set up Change Displays' in Version Management.
    The path is IMG>MM>Purchasing>Version Mgt.>Set up Change Displays
    Appreciate if you do not provide the explanation which comes by pressing F1. Jst let know how we use this field in this functionality and how.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    Dear ,
    The sole purpose of the field Category i.e Data output category is reporting ,Which means when you check the report of Display Changes for a version in PO it will show you all the fields (as per SAP all fields are of same importance ) but if you want to impose importance to those fields according to your need then you assign a category and later you can sort the list based on this category 
    Now how it works lets take an example
    Suppose you create a PO take print out and then changed few data in PO so new version triggers -> Mark this version as completed and saved the PO
    Now after that your boss or any one want to see what changes you have made for that PO so he select version 1 in header and click on Display changes
    Field........................................old value.......New value.......Changed by......Changed On....Category   
    1> Price ................................100 EUR.......120 EUR...........user1234..........18.02.12................A
    2> Quantity .............................60 EA.............65 EA...........user1234..........18.02.12................A
    3> Material short text ............Iron ore-1....Iron ore-2..........user1234..........18.02.12................B      
    4>  Requisitioner ....................User4.......... User 5.............user1234..........18.02.12................B
    5> Req. tracking no...............need543.......need579...........user1234..........18.02.12................C
    6>   Taxcode  ...........................V1..................V2...............user1234..........18.02.12................C
    {If in the standard output format category field is missing you can bring that by changing the layout }
    Now out of these 6 field you assigned Price and Quantity as category  A (say most important)
    Material short text and Requisitioner as category B (Medium importance)
    Req. tracking no.  and   Tax code as category C      ( Less importance)  
    So it just an additional information for you to categorized and easily identify important fields among many other changed fields.
    Now I sincerely hope it clarifies you doubt
