How do you keep screen from timing out in VLC

Hi Reticent

Thanks for your comments .Lets hope someone does something about the ideas.

I choose to use Linux Lite because of its claim to be for non-geeks . My view is I want my computer to enable me to do my chosen tasks and not to be a hobby itself so I want the operating system to just do its work in the background .

The "Lite" team has done a very good job but is let down by the failure of the Ubuntu team not sorting long standing problems . Until Linux is seen to work out of the box in all departments with a minimum of background knowledge its never going to be as widely accepted as it deserves . It has to overcome its reputation of been hobby for geeks .

I have spent a month since I first installed Lite trying to get it to work properly in Bluetooth Audio , Screen Brightness , Screen going Blank , WiFi adapter , Office , etc . I have found it a handicap not understanding how to do things using Commands but I am not wanting to learn at 70

Never heard of the word "obfuscation" so I looked it up . Good one !
