    Idle timeout in 12.04

    Hi, my 12.04 installation idles (screen fades to black) after about 15 minutes. How can I adjust or turn this off?
    Thanks.
    I'm using ubuntu 14.04

    Go to System Settings -> Brightness and Lock and increase the time.
    If the screen continue going off then it should be screensaver related problem. To fix it type:
    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false
