How to disable screen shutdown after 1 hour in Fedora 17 (Gnome)?

3

Fedora 17 doesn't seem to have a "Never" option for the screen timeout setting.

Is it possible to disable this power-saving feature? This is for a machine showing a dashboard which should always be on.

Meh

My Fedora 18 gives me "** (process:8084): WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed" after running this command... – Lamy – 2013-02-17T15:09:00.593

Edit: Ah had to use su - instead of just su to shift to root user. – Lamy – 2013-02-17T15:31:07.900
