Sleepy Pi...

How do you keep your Pi from automatically shutting down?

[GTR2Fan]

Mine doesn't... or are you talking about it happening when you run a particular OS?

If you mean the screen blanking:
edit the /etc/kbd/config file with:

Code: Select all

BLANK_DPMS=off
POWERDOWN_TIME=0
BLANK_TIME=0

What do you mean automatically shutting down?
There is a difference between automatic and
randome shut downs
Automatic shut down occurs when the
Pi as been programmed to shut down
When it encounters a problem.
You have no control over random shut downs
You have to go through the process of finding
out the cause.

I tried to edit the /etc/kbd/config file, but it does not allow me to save changes

I tried to do it from the root terminal using:
sudo nano /etc/kbd/config

I managed to open the file and edit the fields, but it does not allow me to save it

Do you know how can I get the authorization to do so?

Hi,

Do you know how can I get the authorization to do so?

Generally speaking, you can always change permissions of a file with the command chmod (eg. sudo chmod 666 /etc/kbd/config).

Permissions of the files are set wisely, so it is a good practice (if you really decide to change the permissions to perform some action) to change the permission later back to original settings.
Before you do any changes, you can see original ownership and permissions information with the command ls -l.
