The Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a sleep mode, so it’s already disabled. Fortunately, there are several methods of preventing this.

There’s no need for alarm, but particularly during software updates and other longer processes, this can cause some unnecessary anxiety. #gsettings set you are first setting up a Raspberry Pi, it is very scary for the screen to suddenly just go black. #Ancienne methode mais la dernière commande posait probleme depuis un script #Réactivation de l'économiseur d'écran an tuant le processus bloqueur Zenity -progress -percentage=0 -title='Attention' -cancel-label='Réactiver maintenant' -auto-close #Calcul de COMPTE_REBOURS_MINUTES en secondesĮcho '#Le verrouillage session est actuellement désactivé Réactivationĭu verrouillage dans $ heure(s) $ #gsettings set idle-activation-enabled false #Ancienne methode non utilisee car nécessite ensuite de tuer le processus mate-screensaver #Durée durant laquelle l'économiseur d'écran est désactivé (I use it when watching a moovie on my raspberry pi) #!/bin/bash I did a script that temporarly disable it and at the end put it enable again … with optimization

It’s bad enough that it has performance issues that is for another topic, without this.įor enable it again : > gsettings set idle-activation-enabled true Having a program load and run in the background (the screensaver), just to keep the screen from going blank, is not beneficial at all for me. The Raspberry Pi2 dose have rather ‘Limited’ resources.

Clearly Ubuntu-mate had not been considered for use as a ‘Status display’ for anything, you know the kind of thing that you NEVER want the screen to just shut off by it’s self, lol.Īpparently, the only way to keep the screen from going blank in the middle of watching a vid, is to have the screensaver program load on boot, and set the settings in the “Screensaver Preferences” window to not turn off the display (uncheck the “Activate screensaver when computer is idle”, plus setting the “PowerManagement” boxes to “never” as well). I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it, as I had it set to 2 hours, and the display was blanking out after a few minutes of watching a vid or NOAA radar. Ominously, in the “Screensaver Preferences” window, there is a setting for “Regard this computer as idle after” setting slider-thing. I also tried “setterm -blank 0” in the “rc.local” file, and that did not work? The screen still goes blank after about a minut or two. ‘Screensaver’ apparently has been moved in “dconf Editor”.Īnd to top it off. Now I’m stuck near the end, where is “Dconf Editor”? I’m not seeing it in the “Control Center”? I’m not seeing it under any of the menus on the desktop (Applications, Places, or System)?Īpplications -> System Tools -> “dconf Editor” (the icon looks like a Volume control thing) Then click “Add” in the window that comes up… Under the “Personal” section in the “Control Center” window, select “Startup Applications”.

Fyi, “Open Control Center” is in the “System” menu top left of the screen on a fresh install of Ubuntu-Mate (15.04) on the Raspberry Pi2.
