[Bug 381517] Re: Cannot disable console blanking in /etc/kbd/config

[Daniel Richard G.]

A couple of points I neglected to mention in the original report:

1. Setting BLANK_TIME=0 in /etc/console-tools/config in Debian Lenny
successfully disables blanking, so this problem is specific to Ubuntu.

2. For now, I've worked around this bug by invoking

    setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0

in /etc/rc.local . Inelegant, but effective.
