I have an Ubuntu server installation with XBMC. After 5 minutes of inactivity the screen turns black and can't be woken up with the remote control. However a keyboard press does wake it up. Since I don't want to use a keyboard this is very annoying.
The black screen doesn't seem to be issued by XBMC itself. It's own screensaver is set to dim after 3 minutes, which it does. XBMC is started using xinit
.
I'd like to prevent the screen from turning black or find a way to wake it up using the remote.
What I've tried so far is:
- Set
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="consoleblank=0"
in/etc/default/grub
and runupdate-grub
. - Add
BLANK_TIME=0
andPOWERDOWN_TIME=0
in/etc/kbd/config
