Alternatively you can install caffeine-- when you click it (and it's full of coffee), it'll temporarily disable the video timeout.

[ubuntu-uk] 10.04 Pssword request each 6 minutes
Having checked all settings, I do not see why I have to input my password every 6 minutes, if no input. This is a problem with streaming video, part is missed whilst the password is re-entered. Have tried 3 browsers, same problem. Any suggested solution, appreciated, thanks. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
