hmm so actual that did not work for me either, which I do not know is a bug or what so here is what I had to do.
First check output of: *$ cat /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank* *600* It'll probably be 600 as above, which is ten minutes( 600 seconds ). So . . . *nano /boot/uEnv.txt* and uncomment this line: *#cmdline=quiet init=/lib/systemd/systemd* then add at the end *consoleblank=0* Which gives you *cmdline=quiet init=/lib/systemd/systemd consoleblank=0* reboot the beaglebone and when it comes back up. *root@arm:~# cat /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank* > *0* > On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 6:07 PM, William Hermans <[email protected]> wrote: > errr sorry, that should only be *setterm -blank 0* >> > > On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 6:03 PM, William Hermans <[email protected]> wrote: > >> $ setterm -powersave off -blank 0 >> >> On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 5:15 PM, Moscowbob <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> >>> BBB boot from tftp and nfs - >>> kernel: 3.15.10-bone8 >>> rootfs: debian-jessie-console-armhf-2014-08-13 >>> >>> Hardware: >>> BBB A5C >>> Circuitco LCD4 cape >>> Circuitco RS232 cape >>> >>> /home/rob/rootfs/boot/uEnv.txt >>> >>> uname_r=3.15.10-bone8 >>> cmdline=quiet init=/lib/systemd/systemd >>> *optargs="consoleblank=0"*. >>> >>> I used this reference http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_FAQ >>> <http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_FAQ#Is_there_a_way_to_prevent_my_HDMI_monitor_from_sleeping_while_using_my_BBB.3F> >>> but >>> the display is still blanking after 10 minutes. >>> >>> Would appreciate some guidance. >>> >>> Thanks >>> Rob >>> >>> >>> -- >>> For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss >>> --- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >>> Groups "BeagleBoard" group. >>> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send >>> an email to [email protected]. >>> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >>> >> >> > -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
