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

          @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.

          Create a working config
