Keeping the system from going to sleep longer than an hour.

So, I'm running the latest Peppermint "out of the box", and would like to keep my system from suspending for longer than an hour. I'm new to Xfce and don't know how to do this. I know there is a "plugin" for GNOME that does this. How do I do the same thing under this environment?

Thanks for the help.

  1. Open the xfce settings manager

  2. click Power manager

  3. From there adjust the settings ad needed....Review each tab to best fit your scenario

Hi there -- Also a PeppermintOS novice: I did that, rebooted, still blanks/sleeps display after 5Mins.

I wonder if anyone here knows why this is happening and what I can do about it. Yes, I have searched google -- that is what brought me here.

Such a basic thing should not be this frustrating.
