Hi Gene!
You'll have to add a "xhost +" somewhere in your X11 session,
otherwise it'll not work.

Something like this? Or as a separate command line?
00 * * * * * xhost + xsetp +dpms
01 * * * * * xhost + xset dpms 300 0 600
?? etc...
Thanks Nic

Hi Gene!
Not exactly :-)
In your TDE session start konsole and enter:
$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
Your chrontab lines should be like before:
00 * * * * * xset +dpms
01 * * * * * xset dpms 300 0 600
But keep in mind, the "xhost +"-line has to be entered always when you
start a TDE session :-)
So this is a candidate to add to my .bashrc? Or .profile?
Possibly with a " 2>&1 >/dev/null &" appended?
And if this works, then I also ought to be able to:
sudo synaptic
which I cannot do now because root cannot access my display and I had to
setup a separate root password in order to run synaptic.
So theoretically I would not, if the "xhost +" was in effect, have had to
setup a separate root password, a password that once set, cannot be
deleted by any known means except by a bare metal reinstall. BTDT,
twice, wheres my T-shirt? :)
Just to be able to run synaptic? Or package-manager? IMNSHO the suckage
there is somewhere in the range of 10-41 Torr.
Me, Wanders off shaking head in bewilderment.
Thanks Nik.
