Disable screensaver/power save - Model B Raspbian OS (NOOBS)

[Matzuh]

Hi!

A friend of mine just got his Raspberry Pi Model B.
We configured it to use the Raspbian OS. Installed via the NOOBS package.
Since he will be using it on a monitor in his cafeteria to display a slideshow on a webpage, we are trying to disable the screensaver/sleep mode which activates after 15minutes of inactivity. With no luck so far.
There are numerous threads on multiple forums about the same issue, but none of the answers seem to be working!
It can't be that hard to disable a screensaver, right?
Is there anybody with a (working) solution?

(We didn't install or modify any software, so it's just a clean install of Rapsbian, via the NOOBS package on a Model B Raspberry Pi.)

Thanks!

Hi
not sure what you have tried or not tried but this worked for me....

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/kbd/config

find the line
BLANK_TIME=?? most likely 30
and change it to
BLANK_TIME=0


edit
this is a good thread to read for the low-down
