    How to disable blank screen?

    Greetings all:
    I have the following environment:
    - Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity
    I've installed XScreenSaver, then removed it using Synaptic Manager, whenever the computer is idle for 10min, the screen went blank, after searching web, I took the following steps:
    - System Settings > Power > Suspend when inactive for set to Don't suspend
    - System Settings > Brightness and Lock > Turn screen off when inactive for set to Never
    but still it showed blank screen after 10min
    - in terminal, issued the following command
    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false
    , then issued
    Code:
    gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled
    and it returned false, but still I got blank screen after 10min, is there anywhere else that I should check/set in order to disable the blank screen?

    Found solution on this site http://askubuntu.com/questions/14068...creen-blanking
    The only way I managed to disable the screen blanking is using the command line utility xset: xset -dpms and xset s off (it's possible only one of these is necessary).
