It's very disturbing when making a Kiosk application, every time the lock screen and screensaver shows up, also many popup + battery or updates shows up.
Where and how can I completely disable the lock screen, screen saver and alerts via a configuration file or from the terminal?
I have the tried following but nothing works:
failed
vim /etc/default/acpi-support ;LOCK_SCREEN=true
failed
$ gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend false $ gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/blank_screen false $ gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/hibernate false $ sudo init 6
failed (but worked for disabling the lock prompt)
gconftool --set --type=bool /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled False gconftool --unset /apps/gnome-screensaver/themes
failed: To make it permanent:
sudo service gdm stop sudo X -configure vim /home/[username]/xorg.conf.new

I tried the following suggested command from the Ubuntu forum but the whole system froze:
sudo pm-suspend
