how to disable screensaver?

[sgtwtf]

The commands were already added to those files. I installed xscreensaver and uninstalled and rebooted and no change.

My solution was to install xscreensaver and use the desktop control panel to disable the screensaver.

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
sudo reboot

On reboot open the desktop start menu (via the GUI, not the terminal) and I think it’s Preferences > Screensaver Settings. There’s an option to set (and disable) the screensaver. It worked for me. :)

Thanks for that easy solution, and as I havn’t installed Jessie-Lite, I tried your way to disable the screensaver.
I do agree with @sgtwtf, it works like a charm :relaxed:
Thank you !

To add an update that resolved this for me without installing another package.
