Hi
I am looking for a way to permanently disable the screen saver function on Buster. I am running the latest ISO with 2.8.2.
I tried xset but it seems the settings are only valid for the current session. After reboot the screen saver is on again.
AFAIK, latest 2.8.2 ISO doesn't install any screensaver. Do you mean screen blanking? This is what I do:
1- Create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-noblanking.conf (what matters most is the .conf extension, perhaps initial number also) and put this lines on it:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "DPMS" "Disable"
EndSection
Save changes and exit from text editor, then :
2- Got to Apps menú -> Configuration -> Session Startup. Look for App auto startup. Uncheck light-locker (screen locker, who compels you to give your password to unlock the blank screen)
Done. Your screen will never get blank again and you'll be never asked for any password to unlock the screen. Perhaps I'm not using the correct menu designations, but my desktop is not in english. Not need to install anything. Actually, on 2.7.15 I uninstall xfce4-power-manager, I just don't want it messing with anything.
HTH
