[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Linux gurus, a question

Posted: 6/18/2015 1:37:48 PM EDT

I have a little computer running linux.

I hit 'ctrl-alt-F2' to get out of the windows environment to login and run a program.

I want to keep the screen active while this program runs, ie. I don't want to screen to go to sleep mode after 10-15 minutes.

Where is the configuration to turn sleep mode off?

I am not in the GUI environment.

setterm -blank 0 is working.

I also turned off the blinking cursor, now the graphics look pretty legit.

setterm -cursor off
