How to disable screensaver and DPMS while mplayer or skype work?

depends heavily on your desktop environment/Window manager... I would suggest that you check the archwiki page for your specific DE/WM.

The best approach is to disable it by default with an /etc/X11/xorg.conf(.d) file, since sometimes the option to disable it, provided by the DE doesn't work. Section "ServerFlags" Option "BlankTime" "0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "0" EndSection Depending on what Screensaver/PowerManager you are using add launchers to enable and disable the Screensaver/PowerManager. It might require a script to change settings and sometimes just something needs to be killed or launched. Regards, Ralf

How to disable screensaver and DPMS while mplayer or skype work? I don't have a screen saver, I just have assigned a key to slock. So I don't know how to disable your screen saver, that's likely configurable with screen saver settings.

However, depending on your screen saver, it may listen to xset (or not), in which case you can do: $ xset s off -dpms to disable both it and DPMS. You can even use this in a function in .bashrc called mplayer and then turn it back on again to have this toggled whenever you start/quit mplayer. I personally have it in a script for when I want HDMI output. BTW, next time, please remember to check the Arch Linux Wiki first, it has lots of useful info (even when it's for another distribution/ distribution-agnostic problems): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Power_Management_Signaling

Have a nice day! To you too. João Miguel

archwiki contain advice about mplayer. There is nothing about skype. - -- Have a nice day! ~~~ This PGP signature only certifies the sender and date of the message.
