Kali Linux 1.1.0 How to disable Sleep/Hibernate completely.
 
Im not sure if anyone has already asked this question but i would really like to know how to disable Sleep/Hibernate completely and persistently on a Kali Linux 1.1.0 System running dual boot on a Macbook Pro Mid 2009.

it is in the screensaver and power settings

just set it to never ( or 6 hours)

It only allows for 1 hour as the maximum.

I am a newbie so be gentle. I am running KALI linux in VMware. I can not find where to find screensaver or power settings. Where are they located?

Hi dropframe

first if you are using Kali 1
S T O P !!! NOW!!!!
the current is 2.0


next
what desktop manager are you using ?
Gnome3 or the non default KDE4
or one of the other desktop managers

i am guessing Gnome3
BUT!!!
with using a VM this might be the failsafe "fall back" gnome shell

so
what are you using

gnome3
on the left is a tool bar
on the bottom is the tool menu ( show applacations)
this brings up a rather crappy "windows metro" tile set -- i hate that with a passion ( gnome3's metro look that is)

the OS system tools are in there

or

in the on/ off menu ( top right)
the tool options are in there

this is a NORMAL but tweaked Gnome3 desktop ( gnome2 was GREAT - 3 is crap)

the power settings menu from the tool options in the user tools ( top right)
