Disable sleep mode

[leonpmu]

for the monitor and the Hard disks.

Anyone have any idea?  I have disabled dpms on my xorg.conf, made no difference, after a period of time it all goes to sleep.

Thanks in advance

I too would like the answer to this one. During every session my desktop freezes at some point and I have to CTRL Escape to the System Activity window to reactivate processes from disk sleep mode.

This might do what you want:

Thanks for the reply, but I cannot seem to find the power settings in the PCLinux configure centre, and only battery control in KDE.

Could you possibly give me a better pointer to where you find the powermanagement profiles?  Thanks again

Sure. The controls I was speaking about aren't in the PCLinux configuration center. They're in the "Configure Your Desktop" center. It's the icon in the bottom panel that pictures a wrench and screwdriver crossed in an X. Click that icon. Next click the "+" beside "system" in the left hand column. From the list that appears click "power management". Next, click "edit profiles" in the column that appears to the right of the column you've been clicking in. A third column of 5 choices will appear to the right of the "edit profiles" column. Select each of these one at a time and adjust the settings in each. I've unchecked the first two boxes in each and set the third "When the system is idle for" to "do nothing" from the drop down box that is presented to its right.

Hope this helps.

That works for a while, but eventually, the thing still goes to sleep..

I'm still looking for a better fix.

Yeah, I found after a little time this isn't a complete fix. But, the sleep happens far far less than it did before I made the changes and it is easier to break free from when it happens .... not sure whats going on or why. I'm hoping it will disappear completely with the next KDE or kernel update...... will see.

leonpmu:

Have you tried this, for the display?



Strange as it sounds, the power management needs to be enabled in order for it to be disabled, by moving the sliders all the way to the left.

Thanks O-P that is one I have not tried....like you said, strange, might be because with it "enabled" the OS has full control..
Thanks

Hi there all,

to longraybeard : I am running PCLinux 2009, in the configure your computer section, there is nothing for power management at all   

to old-polack : Thanks, I will try it and see if it works, at least that will help for the display, if anyone has any ideas on the hard disk sleeping, please let me know.

Thank again to everyone.

Well, that didn't work either. O-P any additional suggestions?
Strangely, in another rpm based OS with KDE4, O-P's suggestion worked.
I'll keep digging......looking.......asking.....being a nuisance!....!

Thanks, I'll give that a try...

[leonpmu]

Well, enabling power management to disable it  seemed to have worked for the video so far, thanks for that.

[Wildman]

That did it, thanks, much!
