12.04command linescreensaver
I would like to turn off the screen saver from command line, which used to work with
gconftool-2 -s /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled --type=bool false
in natty & oneiric
for precise this does not work.
Any ideas?
I know where I can do that in the gui, I'd need the setting for an automatic installation script, that also changes some default settings.
The fix:
sessionfile=`find "${HOME}/.dbus/session-bus/" -type f`
export `grep "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" "${sessionfile}" | sed '/^#/d'`
Now, try running your command again.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false
Stack Overflow is awesome.

Found a way for KDE 4 (up to Ubuntu 14.10). For modern KDE 5 see other answer.
Go to System Settings → Application and System Notifications → Manage Notifications.
Select Screen Saver as the Event Source
Locate and select the Screen Locked
add this command to the event:
xset dpms force off
It will turn off all displays every time it gets locked.
Best Answer
these settings will help
recheck with dconf-editor
when using the gui, these properties will also change in dconf-editor.
