I'm a novice at Linux/Ubuntu. I installed Kubuntu and have configured the Power Management and Display And Monitor settings appropriately. I've installed Caffeine, and have tried multiple times to prevent the screen from going blank. I've followed other articles and tried disabling the Screen Blanking feature. I've also disabled all the power saving options.
Issue: After 31 seconds of not moving the mouse, even if multimedia - including web-based multimedia - is still playing, the screen goes blank. Please give me very specific instructions when referring to the Terminal commands and their respective directories.
Thank you in advance.
