Screensaver lock

[Spleenico]

Just installed 14.04 on my netbook (to be used as media center) and it reminded me something trivial but IMO irritating: after 5 min the screensaver appears (not every one likes it, but okay) and the screen gets locked, while I imagine most people are using Ubuntu MATE at home and would probably disable this option to lock the laptop only when they have to.
Would it be an idea (if technically possible) to stop enabling the screen lock by default in future releases?

Hi,

I also don’t like the screen lock/blanking features of Ubuntu, I wrote a small guide which covers all the bases:

Stop the screen from blanking in Ubuntu

Hi all, like the title says, if you don't like screen blanks; you can disable screensaver etc by doing the following: Open Control Center > Personal > Startup Applications > Add and give it a name and then add the command (copy and paste) to the command line, then save it and restart your PC at your leisure or straight away if you want to test it. (You can add a comment if you wish but I didn't!). Name: Stop the screen from blanking Command: xset -dpms s off s noblank s 0 0 s noexpose …

I know that it is still installed and set by default, new users to Ubuntu based systems can at least; disable all the screen locking/blanking features.
