How do i get the display screen to stop blanking out. I havent changed any settings since the install of LL2.0. But today it started doing this after i tampered with the conky installation. and uninstalled it.
-
Menu, Settings, Screensaver, Mode: Disable Screensaver. Also check Menu, Settings, Power Manager.
-
screen saver is disable and power manager is set to never. but it still blanks out
-
Do you have a copy of your conky file?
-
I uninstalled conky thru terminal and after the screen started blanking out i went into the /etc folder as root and deleted the conky folder and the home folder and deleted the .conkyrc file , which i was never able to edit anyway.
-
Well bugger, all the files are gone, no help. I haven't heard of this in conky before and I have used it extensively. Someone else may know whats going on here. On Screensaver click on File, Restart Dameon, see if that helps.
-
Ok thanks .I was able to edit the original conky file several times before i screwed it up. im to tired to learn how to edit conky right now learning linux is enough right now. I will see if that suggestion works. do i do that thru task manager?
-
Menu, Settings, Screensaver. From the top menu File, Restart Dameon.
-
Ok thanks i think that might work but have to wait 10 min, even tho it showed screen saver disabled it had a pop up window asking to restart it. so i did and it still showed disabled but the words were darker.

Hi Jerobero500,
Have you considered Conky Manager? No more manual config file editing. Take a look at this video:

It works now. I restarted the daemon and had to checkmark save session and desktop stayed on all night. Thanks Valtam.
