[SOLVED] Turn ON lxdpms when boot

[Aleph]

Hi friends,

now I am with my netbook and PCLOS LXDE run fine, but.... lxdpms is OFF when I but and I have to turn ON.

In my laptop lxdpms was ON when I boot by default. Why in my netbook is different and how configure lxdpms "enabled" automatically when start?

[daniel]

try lxautostart, click on advanced, and type in entry line

Code: [Select]

lxdpms &
click on ok. Logout/in

Regards...

Hi Leiche,

is better... now when log in a lxdpms message said "Lxdpms is enabled" and I have to do OK...

[daniel]

Which Version is installed?

[Aleph]

The 0.1.3-1

[daniel]

Then open the file /usr/bin/lxdpms
and set in line 43, and 44 a #

You must have root privilegs for do this

As sample

Code: [Select]

#yad --text=$"Energy Star is disabled" --button="gtk-ok:0" \
#--window-icon=$ICONOFF --image=$ICONOFF --title=$TITLE

and you don't must click in future of ok

Regards...

[daniel]

ahhhhh...., can it be sin, you have in BIOS deactivated Energy Star on your netbook?

ps.
not 43, and 44
You have do do it in line 52, and 53... (no body is perfect...)

[Aleph]

you have in BIOS deactivated Energy Star on your netbook?

I don't know...  Should I see it?

You have do do it in line 52, and 53... (no body is perfect...)

Now I don't have massage!!

[daniel]

First question, maybe...

Second solution, if you like messages remove # from line 43, and 44, and You get a messages, when if disabled EnergyStar on your netbook

Hi Leiche,

sorry, yesterday I had to stop...

Now lxdpms is like is in my laptop, Enabled when boot, and I can get icons when is disabled.

I was looking for  a reference to Energy Star at BIOS but I could not find. How can I know if is deactivated?

How can I know if Lxdpms is working properly in my netbook?


Regards!

[daniel]

This is really simple, there is no Icon on your systray. If an Icon on your systray, you know EnergyStar is disable 

But if you like an Icon for enable status, try

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
#
# Toggle Energy Star off or on.
# It makes sense when watching movies.

Hi Leiche,

I did, I changed the code and now I have the icon ON on the systray, but... :

- I get again the message for Turn ON when boot. I could solve it adding # like before.

- I can't turn OFF. Is no important Turn off for my, I thing is better always ON, but I can't turn off. When I do click on the ON icon a message said "Turn ON" (?) I do click an a message appear with the real status report...

[daniel]

Remove this code

 

Code: [Select]

--field '$"Turn_On:btn"'
You want to turn off, too?

[Aleph]

Now only the Real Status is available when I do click on the icon ON

And I have the icon ON when boot and the message doesn't appear more. Fantastic!!

You want to turn off, too?

What do you thing?

For me is ok always ON...

[daniel]

It is your baby

When it is solved, so is it solved
