I've recently moved over to mate-desktop and I'm having a problem with it, specifically its blanking the screen, and if I don't react speedily I then have to input my password to reuse it again!

How can I stop the blanking please?

go to the menu: system/preferences/look and feel/screensaver
that's the dialog box that controls time out, and lock screen

perhaps you should also click on the Power Management button and see if your settings are turning you monitor off.

    PS: if you have multiple desktops installed Expect Conflicts

I've used the control centre many times and have adjusted all time related options that I can find within it, but to no avail! After about 10 minutes of inactivity, the screen just goes dark.

I haven't been able to find anything related to this on the internet, so I'm at a loss to rid myself of this problem. So can anyone help and advise me please?
