Prevent Screen blanking while playing/streaming video

Post by mzsade »

Disabled Screensaver, set everything to "Never" in Power Management Preferences but that didn't help. Then i found this gem and it works for me.

Code: Select all

xset dpms 0 0 0 && xset s noblank && xset s off
Didn't want to put any more load on startup so made an alias instead. Hope it helps somebody experiencing the same annoyance. :)

My problem ended up being due to having more than one set of configuration settings available. I had KDE System Settings and GNOME System Settings. I removed everything kde until the KDE system settings went away, and rebooted the system. I have never had aproblem since.
