disable ubuntu 10.10 screensaver using command

Question

Does anyone know how to disable ubuntu 10.10 screensaver by just using command or edit conf? because I can only ssh to the machine to turn the screensaver off thx.

To disable the screensaver:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled --type=bool false

To disable monitor sleeping:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_display_ac --type=int 0

The command to disable monitor sleeping has changed. You should now run:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_display_ac --type=int 0
