Monitor going to sleep

[Fr8Trayne]

I just updated the Raspberry Pi and it’s started going to sleep after 15 mins or so. How do I shut this off?

@Fr8Trayne run the screensaveroff script from here

@sdetweil’s scripts are fantastic and I highly recommend them and use them.

Personally, I would install xscreensaver and use that to disable the screensaver. Just another option.

In your terminal
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

Then
sudo reboot

Run xscreensaver. Choose Disable Screensaver. Done.
