Are you talking about the screensaver which in the default configuration
blanks the screen and requires a password to get back to your desktop?
If so, go to Settings Manager (in "All", among other places) and choose
"Screensaver". It appears the default is to enable the screensaver and
activate when the computer is idle. I assume, but haven't tested, that
you can just disable the screensaver. If you just want to change the
length of time until the Screensaver starts open the menu (quadruple
horizontal bars to the lower left of the "Preview" screen) and change
those settings. This won't apparently disable the system being locked
when "System Sleep" activates (change with "Power Manager".
I'm an experienced Un*x user but not an experienced Studio user, so take
my comments with that understanding.

Hi All, Been using Ubuntu to do video a long time. just as I get in
the middle of somehing it shuts down and I enter password to restart.
I have been hating this a long time but I thought it was just the way
it was. I would like it to keep going until I shut it down. Is there
a way to set it up to keep a bright screen or maybe just dim after
some seconds. Please help wiy th this if you can. Thanks, Douglas
