DPMS/Screen blanking not working in gnome-shell

The title pretty much sums it up. I've tried setting screen blanking in gnome-control-center->power, but it doesn't seem to work. However DPMS has worked in pretty much every other WM I've tried by default.
I've installed gnome-shell and gnome-control-center. Not using gdm.
I've tried 'xset -dpms' which apparently should've helped at least in earlier gnome releases, but it makes no difference on my system.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Could you be more specific so as to what does not work? Is it the automatic screen blanking, or just plain screen blanking? If you run

I want my screen to turn off automatically when system is not in use, so I've enabled the automatic screen blanking from gnome settings.
That command turns my monitor off fine, but doesn't happen automatically when system is idle like it does in other WMs

Apparently there's been an issue where xserver's dpms settings get in gnome's way, and disabling dpms with xset has helped some people in arch forums and others. Although if I'm not mistaken that issue should be fixed already.

[SOLVED] DPMS screen off not working with xorg 1.16.0, gnome 3

After the update of xorg into 1.16.0-2, screen is not turned off by DPMS in GNOME.
I also tried an manual command:
$ xset dpms force off
but it's not working.
In other WM, this command is working.
With xorg 1.15.2 and gnome 3, there is not this problem.
When I entered the command, the screen turned off for a couple of seconds and turned back on.

Updating xf86-video-intel to 2.99.912-4 solved the problem.
Thanks.

Dropbox appindicator is not working in Gnome shell

Hello,
I have installed "dropbox" package from AUR and also "gnome-shell-extension-appindicator-git" (and it's dependencies which are libindicator and libappindicator and some other packages) from AUR too.
My appindicators are now working except for Dropbox and Skype. (but Skype is not my problem here)
The only relevant information that I have found about my issue is the link below but that does not seem to help too.
https://github.com/rgcjonas/gnome-shell … /issues/22
My problem is that Dropbox is still showing it's systray icon instead of it's appindicator.
Anyone has faced the same problem or would you have any ideas? I would appreciate your help.

Qosmio DX730 - Screen is not working

Hi,
my screen is not working. I can see that the computer is fine as I can get it to briefly flash into view when I switch the AV input mode, but then the screen just blanks out. I have tried rebooting a number of times, turning off completely, but nothing seems to work.
Any idea on how to fix this?

If your computer works properly in connection with external screen, then the problem could be related to the internal display panel maybe its faulty I said maybe because to find the malfunction, the hardware must be checked by service engineer.
However, from my point of few it could be a display panel issue and this can be fixed only by part replacement.

I just took my new MacBook Pro out of the box and the screen will not work. Display is, black no life to the screen at all

So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all

Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down.

My iPhone 5c screen is not working

My iPhone screen is not working I was using it and then it blanked out on me. Then it never turned back on or the buttons didn't let me turn the screen on. If I put it on silent it would vibrate and that is all it would do. Do you think it should be replaced?

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

Hi everyone,
     I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

Hi I was just wondering, if my iPod nano's serial number says that it is eligible, but its screen is not working, am I still eligibile for the iPod nano 1st gen replacement?

Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

I have an ipod touch 3rd generation and the whole touch screen is not working.

I have a 32gb ipod which I bought for fifty dollars and when i bought it had a pretty baddly cracked screen but thing is it worked fine. Every part of the screen worked fine; it was as senstive where the screen was cracked as the areas of the screen that were not cracked. I dropped it a couple times from like two or three feet on two a hard wood floor about four times all it did was make the cracks on the screen a little worse. Then one day I dropped it from about a foot and now the whole touch screen is not working does anyone know why this is. They told me at the ipod store to get a new one would be 130 to trade mine in. But the thing is I very mechanically inclined and I am very good with electrionics; I was planing on buying the glass for fifty bucks and putting it on myself because I read how to do it and I am more then capapble of doing it. But now since the touch screen is now working; do I need a new screen along with a new glass? See the thing is because I think both those part cost 120 together. Which would not be worth me doing that when I can go to the ipod store and they would trade me a new one for 130 bucks. But the issue is, they told me at the ipod store they would have to look and see how damaged the ipod is to see if they will exchange it. My screen is severly cracked; also I have a dent that is a half inch long and 1/8th inch deep in the back of my ipod and its very scracthed up; do you thing an ipod store would exchange it in the condition it is in. Also has anybody had this problem before and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to take it apart and fix it my self without buying any new parts.

If I were you, I would pay the $130 for a replacement. Then you can be sure that it has all the working parts it needs.

Dear all,
I had the same issue with my nokia 5800, finally I found very interesting thing, I have been doing everything to bring my phone back to original condition where simply I can touch and access the phone.
Actually the issue was with the thin plastic piece which was put on the touch screen for its protection. I was struggling to touch and access the phone but i coudnt for almost 2 weeks, it was directing me to bottom left corner touch buttons of the phone and automatically opens and activate functional which I didn't want.
Solution was, I simply removed the thin plastic layer from the phone , Now it works fine.
Hope this will help.

I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.
