Xfce - Display doesn't switch off after specified period of time.

I have strange problem with power manager. When I set switch display off when computer is in-active it sometimes work and sometimes not. I've noticed that it works for some period of time right after it was set( eg. I set it to switch display off after 5 minutes, so it will work once).
Problem started to appear after I installed xscreensaver. I disabled power managing from xscreensaver but it didn't helped.
Any ideas what it might be, or where should I look for reson?

Hello,
I had this problem before and after installing xscreensaver. In the end I disabled monitor contol in power manager (and left power manager to manage the hard drive) and enabled monitor control in xscreensaver. It works fine for me. I'm using a macbook 7,1 with Arch 3.15.5-2 but have had my set up like this for a while now.
Hope that helps.

  • Is it possible to have the cellular data switch turn off after a period of time. I would like to minimize the data usage, but often forget to turn off the cellular switch once I have returned to wifi coverage.

    My new iPhone 6+ seems to eat up data at a faster rate than my iPhone 4.  I was advised that turning off cellular data when I am at home or work where I have wifi will keep my cellular data usage to a minimum.  But I have found that I frequently forget to turn it off the cellular once I have finished a task where I needed it. Is there a way to have it turn itself off automatically after a period of time? Thanks

    No, you will have to manually do it.
    Have you look into putting your phone in airplane mode and then connect to wifi.

  • 808 Display doesn't go off after locking the phone

    When i lock the phone with the slider on the right side, the screen used to go black (or any screensaver would go on, if activated).
    Suddenly, when locking the phone, nothing happens. the screen dimms a little bit, but it's still on. It doenst matter weather i activate any kind of screensaver, the display always stays on (the keys are locked, i also see the locked sign in the menu bar). When i restart the phone, nothing changes.
    Only when I take out the battery for a while, the screen saver comes back up again. Everything seems to be working fine, until the next restart. Then the same problem happens again.
    Is this a known bug (couldn't find anything on goole)? Am I doing anything wrong? It's driving me really crazy to see my Display on all the time (I also don't want to take out the battery after every restart)
    I also have to say that this happens to me on FP1 and FP2, even on a 2nd phone (thx to Amazon). 
    Any help is really appreciated

    Guys, I too had/have this problem in my 808. The only thing i did was to type *#7780# followed by the security code and restore all the settings. And it worked!
    Sometimes only restoring the phone to factory resets doesn't work. But i guess this might be happened only once to me.
    So in that case you may want to delete and restore data but every data/app from the mass memory will get lost. So remember to back up.
    Before trying this, have you all tried re-installing the firmware? It might help to some extent.
    Hope that helps!

  • IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

    1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
    2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use, 
    3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
    4. After  5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
    5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
    6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
    7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
    8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
    9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
    10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
    KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

    "I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
    Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_

  • Ipod doesn't switch off on its own

    Hello,
    I have a black Ipod 60GB and it doesn't switch off on its own. I know that the old Ipods will switch off on their own if you are not using it for more than a couple of minutes. So I thought the 5th generation would do that as well but mine doesn't and it's really annoying. Does anyone know if 5th generation Ipod should do that? And if yes, in which part of the menu can I set that option?
    Thanks.
    Alexandra

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The iPod will turn off after 1 minute if there is a song on pause, or if there is nothng playing.

  • Display screen is turned off after timeout even when blanking disabled

    After a recent update which among other things upgraded gnome to 3.10 my display blanking policy no longer behaves according to a configuration.
    Currently it is being turned off (monitor says "no DVI signal" and switches off) after each 10 mins if idle time.
    In Gnome's Power Settings I have 'Blank Screen' set to Never.
    It used to work perfectly earlier, no blanking, but now it blanks not only when I'm idle, but even when watching some movie in VLC.
    I am not sure if this has to do with Gnome update or some other system component is causing this.
    Using nvidia driver.
    Any hint or link to the topic with the workaround would be greatly appreciated.
    I tried google and local forum search and found nothing on the topic

    I just noticed myself this annoying issue and I do not use Gnome nor GDM.
    The thing is after checking the xset settings with
    xset q
    I noticed that the DPMS settings for Standby, Suspend and Off were back to their default values (60/60/600) instead of the 0/0/0 as I am using
    xset s off &
    in my openbox autostart file to avoid the screen blanking.
    The way I fixed it was to simply run
    xset -dpms
    being the DPMS featured as disabled when queried.
    Afterwards I checked that the screen did not blank again and 1) logged out and 2) restarted checking both times that the DPMS were the ones expected (0/0/0).
    Thus, so far, I have no issues with the screen blanking in a non Gnome environment (Openbox) anymore.

  • Optical audio in Lion switches off after 30 seconds

    I have a new iMac 27" Computer purchased November 2010 with Snow Leopard on. I have upgraded to Lion OS the day it came out.
    When I started using it, I noticed that the Optical steam (red beam) would switch off after roughly 30 seconds. I researched this issue and found that OS X powers down the Sound Hardware after 30 seconds if not used, as it is fine under Bootcamp with Windows 7.
    So I used a program called Sound 1.0,1 to stop the Optical connection switching off, by playing a silent sound every 20 seconds. But now Lion does not support PowerPC programs by Rosetta, so am back to the original problem, that if the hardware has switched off, I miss the first 2 or 3 seconds of the start of the audio, like Skype announcing that some has signed in / out or on MSN as a message notification.
    Any ideas to sort this annoying problem be most grateful.
    Peter

    Thanks for your help Andrew.
    Have tried that and seems to be working at the mo (touch wood). See how it goes.
    Can't tell you what a difference it is compared to the monitors speakers.
    Thanks Again

  • Recently updated 5G iPod to 1.2 doesn't switch off

    Yesterday I'd updated my 5G 60GB iPod with the new iPod update from iTunes 7. Now, it doesn't switch off anymore, even if I make a hard reset. I also tried restoring it from iTunes and the problem stays. Neither can I get into diagnostic mode.
    I'll never make an update so soon anymore. Please, anyone could help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    with that set of symptoms, it's probably worth checking on the possibility from the following document:

    You need to perform a DFU Mode Restore of the iPhone with iTunes on computer. You must also have a SIM card of the original Carrier that this iPhone was produced for.

  • Muvo N200 Switches off after 1 tr

    I'm experiencing a very very irritating problem with my player. It just switches off after playing single track. This problem only surfaced after using for approximately for 2 - 3 months. The other irritating part is that I couldn't access Recovery Mode and thus could not do any firmware upgrade, etc. Anyone can help me on this issue or must I return to Creative to have it RMA ? Thnx

    Not if you don't have any problems with .2.0.
    Some people will like .5.0 because it gives support for 3 levels of sub-folders which then allows sync with WMP0. But it also changes the volume scale which others don't like!

  • Switch off after 20%

    Hi ,
    For the last two days, i m facing this issue,  my iphone4S switch off after battery level goes just below 20%. I need to charge it again to switch ON the mobile.
    I have upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 two weeks back. Can anyone please help me, your help will be highly appreciated.

    Try fully discharging (until it shuts off) and then fully recharging (don't unplug until 100%) to recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • My ipad atomatically gets switched off after every 5 mins

    From first day only my ipad atomatically gets switched off after every 5 mins and then atomatically gets on after 2-3 mins. is it a hardware problem or some problem in settings? if anybody knows the solution then please let me know....

    Is this a brand new iPad2. Did you notice this occurring before you started adding apps? Is this is occurring if you do not have any apps you have started running either active or in the background?
    If you have already tried powering off the device, you can try to do a hard reset (Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider, let go of the buttons.) and see how it runs without starting any apps.
    I do not have instructions for doing a restore but that is the only other step that I think of that you can take to resolve a software based problem.
    If you are still seeing the behavior after trying most or all of the above, I  would suggest taking it in or returning it for service.
