I am using a Raspberry Pi connected to a TV (monitor) to show some information; it is inactive most of the time. My problem is that the screen turns off every five minutes.

This is what I tried with no success:

  1. Set blank time and power down time as follows in /etc/kbd/config

    BLANK_TIME=0
    POWERDOWN_TIME=0

  2. Added these lines to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

    @xset s noblank
    @xset s off
    @xset -dpms

  3. Added these lines to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

    xset s off
    xset -dpms
    xset s noblank

Any idea on how can I solve this?

  • for my raspbian/jessie based Pi the @xset lines are in ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart and work correctly

    Like @rob said, you need to add those lines to LXDE-pi/autostart not LXDE/autostart

  • Thanks rob, I moved those lines to LXDE-pi and it is working fine now. If you want to make your comment an answer I will be glad to accept it

Paths seem to have changed in the Jessie Raspbian.

Try putting the 

@xset s noblank
@xset s off
@xset -dpms

lines in the ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart file not the LXDE/autostart
