extending screensaver start time

[newUser2linux]

I am very new to Linux (Fedora. If I step away from keyboard more than 5 minutes, I return to a locked, screensaver.

I wish to know how to do the following please:

1) Turn off the screen saver completely since it is a residential laptop and I am usually on it alot. And if I need to activate a screen saver, I would need the path or the command to do so.

2) extend the start period. since it activates in about 5 minutes, I would like (if I can't do item #1), to have it start say 10 minutes after an idle keyboard.

Please help.

Thanks,
Jerry

Assuming you are using gnome (not sure how old the version is with F8 ), but under system->preferences->screensaver should be where you modify that. There should be either a lock screen app that you can add to a taskbar or possibly it is under system (so you can manually lock it if you want).

Thanks to all who helped. Coopstah13 instructions were close, and I was able to find the right path to correct the problem. Thanks Coopstah13h.

On my version, I had to:

System > Preferences > Look & feel > Screensaver j

Thanks all,
