14.04 Lock Screen -> Disable Fade Out

[justin61]

Hi,

I'm looking to disable the "fade to black" feature on the lock screen so that I can display my beautiful background. :)

This didn't seem to work:
System Settings ->Brightness & Lock -> Turn screen off when inactive for -> Never

I've also tried this to no avail:
dconf -> org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> power -> idle-dim -> unchecked
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim false

Suggestions?

Thanks.

It appears that setting idle-dim to false doesn't actually turn idle off, it does something else having to do with dimming, not sure what exactly. Maybe it has to do with the transition from full brightness to whatever dim brightness is set to. To turn off idle using gsettings, use the following code:


gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false

Hope that helped!
