  • To be clear, screen saver or screen blanker, or both? – Tim Jan 23 '12 at 17:04
  • You could uninstall the screensavers - usually in a package with "screensaver" in the name – pjc50 Jan 24 '12 at 10:44
  • I have to say that the versions of Linux that were coming out back in 1995 had better configuration control for the screensaver than recent versions of linux. Gnome and KDE have messed it all up IMHO. – djangofan Jan 26 '12 at 19:31

gconftool-2 --set -t boolean /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled false

This is a per-user setting, so you could add this to the default settings like this:

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --set -t boolean /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled false

This seems to work for me.

  • Hi, I am trying to achieve the same only on my account on a CentOs system. Where should I put the above settings? – simona Jun 11 '15 at 08:59
