Notes

To disable screen blanking and screen savers on Raspbian for Raspberry Pi, you need to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Look for a section in the file labeled [SeatDefaults]. You’ll find several lines underneath it commented out with the # symbol. Remove the # symbol from the line xserver-command and change it to read

xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms

Save the file and reboot.
