Re: Screen blanker config

[Will Sloan <will@848.email>]

Ok. What I did to disable the screen locker and screen blanking in LXDE 
on a Debian Buster LiveUSB image was the following:

1. Remove the `xscreensaver` line from /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

2. Disable light-locker by putting the following contents in 
/home/$USER/.config/autostart/light-locker.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Screen Locker
Exec=light-locker
NoDisplay=True
NotShowIn=GNOME;Unity;LXDE;

This works by overriding the system 'light-locker.desktop' and 
specifying 'NotShowIn=LXDE;' which stops LXDE from automatically 
executing it on login. You could probably also modify 
/etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop to change this system-wide, but 
I haven't tested that.

I hope that is helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.
