Screen Shutting Off Abruptly

[capriciousduck]

My screen is shutting off abruptly even when the blank screen is to 15 minutes?

If I don’t move the mouse or type anything for 10 seconds or so, the screen shuts off(though the system is not suspending).

Disable screen saver

I’ve only just installed ZorinOS for the first time - lite on an old netbook - and I love it. So responsive where other distros have struggled. My only issue so far is stopping the screen timeout so the screen stays on at all times. I have tried disabling all timeouts I can find for the screensaver and power saving but it still happens. I found a thread on the old forum that suggested running sudo xset s 0 0 to disable timeout on xscreensaver and that works, but it reverts back after a rest…
