Yes, two of 'em. Then I uninstalled them, or I believe I uninstalled ALL of them.

A little help please!

Hi Domino,

I had the same issue as you with new installs.

Disable screensaver : applications > settings > screensaver.



Open synaptic package manager and type light-locker.



Leave the app set like this and this should solve your problem.

I'm having this issue also. I cannot view the light-locker.png (above). I've tried setting light-locker to its highest setting. Not sure if that will solve problem. It's impossible to read articles online when screen keeps turning off every 3 minutes.

When did you purchase this laptop; how old is it?

Added:

This is 'dated', but that's why I asked about how old your laptop is. And, it's on a Windows installation, but it deals with the screen going blank after a very short time, just like you are experiencing.

The 'solution' was with either or both, a BIOS update and the Intel Video Graphics Driver.
