Screensaver activating even though it is disabled

I'm running GNOME on an old Dell Latitude D600. I disabled the screensaver and display sleep in power management and the monitor still goes blank after 20 minutes. Any ideas? Thanks!

In a terminal window issue the command
xset q
Then look for the DPMS settings.  That will tell you what power management settings you have set up in X.   Then you can turn them off with xset.

  • Screensaver engaging even though I am using the computer

    This is a weird one.
    My screensaver keeps launching even though:
    A. System Preferences -> Screen Saver -> Start Screen Saver is set to NEVER
    B. I am actively using my computer (trackpad and keyboard).
    Any ideas? I upgraded the OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard several months ago and noticed the problem beginning then. At first it was very sporadic, but clearly while I was using the computer. Tonight it started activating and re-activating over and over again even though I am sitting here working!

    You may have already checked this out - but check if you have any "Hot Corners" set for the screen saver. A friend of mine found that his son had messed with his computer and set the bottom left corner of his screen as a hot corner - and every time the cursor moved into that corner the screen saver opened up. It drove him crazy until tracked this down.

  • My ipad3 asks to be activated even though I've had it for months

    I've had my ipad3 for months now. I activated it when I first got it. Last night I've left it to charge and this morning it keeps asking me for activation. I'm an apple iOS developer and I've had iOS 6 Beta on it for a while. I believe I did update it to the latest one when iOS 6 became available. When connecting to iTunes it says that "version of ipad software (6.0) is the current version" however when I hook up my iPad3 to iTunes I get the warning "The software on iPad has expired and must be updated to a newer version". Then iTunes reports it can't back up the iPad as session could not be started with it. But then when I click on Check for update button in iTunes it keeps reporting I have current version (so I guess no update is available)... its rather vicious cycle... cmon guys - get it together. What am I to do right now? I've been using my device so far with no problems. It started happening this morning for the first time. My device seems in wierd state now. When I try activating it (even though why should I? I've done it months ago) it reports back that "Your iPad could not be activated because activation server is temporarily unavailable..." what the heck?

    First - your entire post didn't provide any value of any sort apart from getting you up the ladder with your Level 10 points
    The upgrade process, whether its Beta or not, should be simplified. With Apple focusing on user experience in many areas, this Beta upgrade process is seriously stuck in the toilet. Having to Restore the device because the algorithm can't detect that released 6.0 version is not an upgrade for Beta 6.0 is probably because that "if ()" condition was coded by toddlers. The system should notice minor build difference and allow user to download latest version just like with any other type of upgrade. This upgrade flow was designed by the same team that created new Apple Maps... Jeez...

  • Install window continues to appear everytime Firefox activated even though it's already in applications menu

    I installed Firefox a couple months ago. Now every time I want to use it, the install window pops up asking me to place it into the applications even though it's already there. It's a pain to deal with. How do I stop it?

    Hello:
    Ok, it doesn't seem to solve my problem. (DMG stands for document manager?)
    (I took 3 screen shots but am not sure how to attach them here. They are too large)
    Let me describe again:
    When I turn on my computer, the Firefox is a "?" in my dock.
    When I try to drag the question mark to the applications folder it doesn't go. When I click on the "?" and then try to drag the firefox icon (which is now in a blue folder with an arrow indicating it wants to go to the applications folder), it doesn't go
    ....or it says: that it already exists and do I want to replace it.
    When I double click the ? in the dock, of course, it runs for the session.
    I appreciate your solution but am no further ahead.

  • IOS 7 asking for activation, even though it its already out

    So, I have had iOS7 for a while now, but just last night my ipod stopped playing music, and said activation required. I dont know why it's saying this, I can't recover it, because iTunes says I need to disable Find My iPhone, but I Can't get into my iPod to do it.
    Notes
    Its a 32GB iPod Touch 5G
    I had the Beta(legit, I payed some website like $5 for them to put me on some thing for the beta)
    Please Help me

    First: This is normal. The beta expires today thats why the message comes up. Plug it in to iTunes and let iTunes restore it to 7.0.2. (The final one)
    Second. 5$. You got ripped off, theorically to can install the beta without paying, even you shouldn't. (You are not a developer, don't install betas)

  • Stock Account hit even though ERD is disabled

    I'm using ECC 6.0 and have issued with exchange rate difference posting still posted to stock account even ERD is disabled in configuration.
    The following scenario causes stock account posted for exchange rate difference:
    1. Invoice posted into previous period
    2. Invoice with partial Return delivery
    3. Invoice with different currency from PO currency
    Other invoices with exchange rate are posted successfully into a fixed exchange gain/loss account defined in KDM.
    Why is the above cases an exceptiion?
    Need help urgently. 
    Thanks

    SAP has issued an OSS note 1274436 to counter this issue and has been working fine sinbce then.

    See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16354526#16354526
    System Preferences  /  Security & Privacy  /  General
    check "Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked"
    I think this makes the Guest User icon go away, but also keeps Find My Mac running.

  • I have troubles enabling the cookies, even though I never disabled them, thus I cannot log into my GMAIL account for over two weeks now. What should I do?

    I cannot log into my gmail or facebook account, because it says: cookies are disabled, enable cookies to continue. I tried changing my settings in Firefox - Options - Settings - Privacy - Use custom settings. I did exactly what I was advised in the Firefox Help online, enabled everything, then clicked OK. Didnt work. Tried it again and I only found that the settings (custom settings - enabled everything) were not even saved. I am not able to save these custom settings any way, it never saves them no matter how many times I try and click ok, I come back to the setting to find that they are not there. So I tried clearing all the cookies and cache in history (also found this online in firefox support site), guess what? DIDNT WORK. I am starting to be a little bit pissed off as I cannot log into my gmail or facebook account for over two weeks now! Any time I need to check e-mails I have to use someones laptop.

    If the cookies are enabled in Firefox and you still have problems then you may have security software that is blocking cookies.
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Property Node activated even though it's been removed from Block Diagram

    Hi,
    I messed around with the property node of one of my controls and when I was finished and removed the property node from the block diagram it still makes my control blink.
    How do I make it stop??
    Is the option of Enable state not possible to set in property node mode. I'd like to go from disabled and grayed to enabled.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi
    Your blinking property might still be set. Add the property again to set it to False.
    To set the enabled/disabled/grayed state use the "Disabled" property.
    Hope this helps.

  • Drill down report is showing popup even though it's disable in column properties

    Hello,
    I am facing an functionality issue where I have crated Summary to drill down report. Summary is chart and drill down is table view and I am using OBIEE Action link  here.
    Now I have disabled the Popup in column properties so when user click the bar on the graph they will directly navigate to detail report. But strangely after disabling the Popup, when i click on bar the drilldown report is coming as popup link.
    does anyone has any idea how to handle this issue??

    It would seem to be a issue with either the hardware of the printer or the replacement cartridge. If it is the cartridge, it should be covered under warranty (if it is HP genuine) since you just purchased it. At this time I think that your best move would be to contact HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you.
    The only other option would be to try another new replacement cartridge to rule in or out the cartridge being at fault.

  • My phone can not be activated even though I filled out the correct id and password. So I was when I was restoring the machine.

    .

    Please provide the exact error that you are seeing. It seems this is due to Activation Lock. Did you purchase this device new, or was this a used device?

  • How come when I imessage other iphones sometimes it is blue while other times it is green even though I have disabled sms messages?

    I have disabled SMS messaging and use only imessage but how come it's blue when I message one iphone user and green when I message another?  I thought you could imessage between any iphone.

    It's possible one recipient has disabled iMessage and the other hasn't. 
    Also, it sometimes takes and initial SMS to shared the keys from each device to enable the secure iMessage channel.  Subsequent messages would then be iMessage enabled.

  • I cannot open emails in Hotmail even though I have disabled all add-ons and plugins.

    As of this morning, I cannot open any emails in Hotmail or open any folders therin. I have disabled all of my plugins and add-ons which has made no difference. To the best of my knowledge, no updates have been made to Firefox on my PC since yesterday.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove your live.com cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these:
    * While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • IMessages sending as SMS even though option is disabled?

    Yeah, question says it all really..
    The option to send as SMS when iMessage is set to "off" but it will still send as SMS?
    I have an iPhone 5, not a 4 so..

    If iMessage is "off" as you say then the iPhone will send as SMS, again as you have stated, "will still send as SMS. If you want to attempt an iMessage you need to turn iMessage ON, in addition the recipient must have iPhone with iMessage ON, and they must have enabled Data or WiFi must be on with internet connection.
