It even comes with a little tray icon which allows you to manual enable or disable the screensaver/power management with a single click. Introducing: Caffeine, “An application to temporarily prevent the activation of both the screen saver and the “sleep” powersaving mode.” – Įssentially what this program does is look for processes running on your machine (you can do this too, just run ‘ps -A’ in a terminal emulator to see a list of everything), so you set process names which the program should look out for, for example ‘vlc’ and when there is a process with this name Caffeine disables the screensaver, when the process stops the screensaver is re-enabled.

Luckily though there is a fix, it’s easy and it’s awesome. Something that should have been fixed thousands of releases ago, just like most common Linux problems.

It’s a pretty common problem, one which could be solved by pretty much the following sentence: ‘, not stopping screen saver when playing videos.’ And, yeah, it’s very annoying.
