I have to add my frustration with the lack of this option. We have a number of PCs displaying network status information on large screens. Without this option we’re unable to use (or test) 11.10 on these machines as the screens will blank.
We were hoping to standardise on Ubuntu across all desktops after the release of 11.10, however the lack of such basic features is not only a barrier to testing it’s a major concern if not expected at release. I mentioned this here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+question/169946 expecting that I’d missed something obvious or that this was just a simple option that would be added nearer release. Reading this thread (and worse what the folks at Gnome have written) gives the impression things are going backwards rather than forwards. I hope I’m misinterpreting? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841345 Title: can't prevent screen from turning off in oneiric Status in GNOME Control Center: Invalid Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: System Settings > Screen "Turn off after: Never" is not an available option in Screen There is no option in gnome-control-center to never turn off the screen using oneiric fully updated (general gnome3 issue).
