In linux, If you cancel Screen Saver ubuntu, the screen saver will be enabled in 10 minutes by default. I use ubuntu server12.04, because there is no desktop, only commands can be used. As follows: setterm-blank 0 // disable the screen saver setterm-blank 1 // after 1 minute, the screen saver settern is a built-in command. The function is quite powerful and can be viewed by setterm -- help. For example, setterm-dump 1 // obtain the information of Screen 1. To obtain the information of screen 2, setterm-dump 2. However, the above command to disable screen saver only applies to this screen. I have not found any file about Screen Saver settings. If the x gui is installed, run the xset command, for example, xset-dpms // disable screen saver xset + dpms // restore the usage of Screen Saver. You can view the xset -- help Command. Summary: This article only briefly explains how to disable screen saver. Other usage of the command will be introduced later.
