Additionally one can create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-dpms.conf with such a content:

Section “ServerFlags”
Option “BlankTime” “0″
Option “StandbyTime” “0″
Option “SuspendTime” “0″
Option “OffTime” “0″
EndSection

And reboot.

Works on Gnome 3.4.2

Same here, I run gnome 3.4.2 and my display turns black after a certain amount of time (does not turn off however).

All values are at 0 (sleep-display=0, etc)… Drives me crazy lol

Thanks for your feedback. I am currently running 3.4.2 and have not had a problem since I changed those values.

Have you checked with the dconf editor if there are other similar values in “org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power” (anything else that starts with “sleep-display”)?

Funny, I’m running Gnome 3.6, and checked the values above, all of which show ’0′. However, my screen STILL turns off…

The downside of copy&paste.

Thank you. I corrected it.

Settings those values requires “set” option, not “get”. It should be this way:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-display-ac
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-display-battery
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay
