How do i stop display going to sleep?

[dgacampbell]

Hi all,
As per title, how do I stop the display going to sleep. I used to have it set that it never went off. Somehow, somewhen I am assuming after a recent update this has started. I got so frustrated with this, I have done a fresh install in case it was something I had accidentally caused. But no, this is still happening. Has anyone else developed this problem? ( EOS kde, fully updated.)
Thanks in advance.

There are two places in system settings you need check.

Check the settings in both screen locking and power management.

Depending on the exact issue however this seems to be a fix for now. Certain Power Managers have stopped working with the screen display time out no matter the time it just turns off every 10 minutes.

DPMS on i3 -- screen timeout issues

This happened with the XFCE power manager update (Not the only power manager affected I understand MATE also has issues) If you want to turn off DPMS then you need put this command in an .xprofile under your user folder xset s off -dpms & Note this will turn off the automatic turn off every 10 minutes and set it to never turn off.

Thanks. I’ve had the same problem, and this fixed the issue.
