Screensaver won't turn off. Autostart Chromium

[hwdexperte]

Hello,

after i've tried to disable the screensaver with a lot of solutions found here in the forum and on other platforms, i can't figure out my problem.

After 20-30 Minutes i get the weird screensaver, shown in the pictures below.
I start the screen session with "startx" and i run chromium in kiosk mode via autostart in fullscreen mode with a preset website in the file /etc/xdg/lxsessions/LXDE/sutostart.
I've tried all this stuff:

• Added the line setterm -blank 0 to /etc/rc.local
• Installed x11-xserver-utils and editet ~/.xinitrc AND /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc files. Added this:

  Code: Select all

  xset s off
  xset -dpms
  xset s noblank
  

• Editet /etc/kbd/config and Changed the lines:

  Code: Select all

  BLANK_TIME=30 # changed to
  BLANK_TIME=0
  POWERDOWN_TIME=15 #changed to
  POWERDOWN_TIME=0
  

• Editet /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and inserted:

  Code: Select all

  [SeatDefault]
  xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms

But nothing of this really helps. Even if i put this all together!
Can anyone of you figure out how to completely disable the screensaver?
Or is this a chromium screensaver??

I run debian wheezy on the latest version ...

I really need quick help ... We are showing important alerts of our fire department on this screen and it's really disadvantageous that the screen goes pixelated after 20 minutes.

Hi,

I really need quick help

I'm using just about 50% of your settings (set just in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf) and the display shows expected content all the time. There was also not a single change done in chromium (just default page set).

Does your monitor thinks that it must be smart (have you tried with another monitor) ?
What action is required in order to see again the expected content ?

Try to perform proper testing of the next project, prior to production installation.

Thanks for your answer

I don't think so. I will check it when i'm home. If thats the monitor screen saver, its a really ineffective one ...

I only need to press a key, even if that changes nothing on the Display.

Best whishes, Tim

Hi,

It's a PackardBell Viseo243D Monitor. I've tried it with other monitors and it's every time the same screen saver ....

I don't know what else i can do

Undo the settings except from the two files I listed earlier.

I had a similar issue where the @xset commands were not taking into consideration. I found out I was missing two packages, so I installed them like so and it worked:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils unclutter

Try this
