Raspberry Pi Config Help - Unable to find - [SeatDefaults] To add the following line below xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms

[IDCreate]

Hi so I’m slowly getting into configuring my Raspberry Pi.

I’m running Raspbian Stretch with desktop
Image with desktop based on Debian Stretch
Version: September 2017
Release date: 2017-09-07
Kernel version: 4.9
Release notes: Link

I’m following the details on this page https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Configuring-the-Raspberry-Pi

I’m at the section for the screensaver and I’m at the step below.

Add the following line below [SeatDefaults]

xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms

But I’ve typed everything in correctly but I’m unable to find the line [SeatDefaults]

at the top of the open screen reads
GNU nano 2.7.4 File: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@IDCreate I never got the screensaver to disable properly with the configs as you have tried. I instead installed XScreensaver and then used that to disable screensaver and energy savings screen blanking.

Thanks very much j.e.f.f that’s very helpful advice. I’m pleased I’m not the only one that has had this issue. I couldn’t even find the code line [SeatDefaults] on the page /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf . I’ll try your suggestion, Mykle1 had also suggested this option to me but I just wanted to dig a little deeper and find out why [SeatDefaults] was not in the script for GNU nano 2.7.4 File: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

I’m sure there’s probably a obvious explanation for it.

So how do I install on my Raspberry Pi 3 and is it suitable.I’m running Raspbian Stretch with desktop

check file by:

sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

if it includes:

@xscreensaver -no-splash

then just comment it by adding #

#@xscreensaver -no-splash

if it doesn’t work install xscreensaver:

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
