I am a complete newbie so I apolgoize if this is a dumb question, but on my linux box, after a short period of time, seems to fall "asleep"...almost like power management/energy saver is kicking in and powering down t he monitor, putting the hard drive to sleep, etc. When it does this the poer light on my PC blinks. If I move the mouse it comes back, but sometimes when it does this I am no longer able to open any programs (i.e. if I try to open a terminal session by clicking on the icon it just sits there and does nothing). Also, while it is in this state I am unale to ping the machine. But as soon as I wake it up, it comes back. Is there a setting somewhere that can di sable this behavior, or is there a bigger issue?
Thanks!
Thanks!
