XFCE has a weird bug... The screensaver is always on, no matter which settings you set, and it will result in a black screen after 10mn of inactivity....
Solution: You have to disable xset
Original solution found at http://linux-mymemory.blogspot.se/2013/04/cant-disable-screen-saver-under-xubuntu.html
Disable Xset
Check your current settings:
xset qDisable xset screensaver + blinking:
bash -c "xset s noblank; xset s off"Then, you can check the results by running:
xset qYou should have the following lines (or alike):
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: no allow exposures: yes
timeout: 0 cycle: 600
Make it disable forever
To resolve this situation once and for all you must do:
- Start menu -> Settings -> Session and startup -> Application Autostart
- Add a new item:
bash -c "xset s noblank; xset s off"
