Hi, I wonder if there are tools to help clean the display. I explain. I just want to wipe the display of my laptop with a wet towel (display cleaning liquid to remove stains and special towel). Problem: it is a touch screen, it reacts. I can of course power off the machine, but that takes time and is not convenient "now". So I wonder if there is a tool that displays white or some chosen colour to the display, while it disables the touch screen, till some key is pressed. ? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Running Linux? Ctrl-Alt-F[3-6]. I don't think there's anything on vttys to read and interpret touches. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

True, I did not think of it. Black, but Ok :-) Service "gpm" might react, though, but I have not activated it in this laptop. How about getting it to show all white? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Login, then: setterm --background white --bold on --foreground black --bold on clear Ctrl-D -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

Interesting. As user, doesn't work, and when back to XFCE I have a prompt to authorize it. As root, it doesn't work either. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

On vttys? More than one? Dunno why?:
grep sette .bashrc tty=$(tty); [ "$tty" != "${tty#/dev/tty[0-9]}" ] && setterm --background blue --foreground white --bold on --blank 59 --store
Above has been in my .bashrc several years. I tested the commands provided in 15.5 before creating my previous email reply, and they worked. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

I commented out the "clear", and now I see setterm: duplicate use of an option Ah, that will be the bold on. Now it works. :-) There is a prompt in black, a dust mite might hide in there :-p -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))
