Hi All,
I'm trying to change the settings (on lts.conf?) such that when I'm
broadcasting an image/chart/presentation or whatever on student
screens (thanks to epoptes) the screen doesn't require a student to
move the mouse to keep the screen active. I searched this page:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man5/lts.conf.5.html to no
avail.
Thanks,

I'm running Lubuntu and made a script to toggle a pseudo Presentation
Mode. As designed, each student would toggle the setting himself.
Note: The small package libnotify-bin must be installed to use notify-send.
Note: The Presentation Mode settings are not permanent; they expire with
the session
#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/share/applications/xset-mode.sh
# A script to toggle between Presentation and Normal mode and notify the
user of the mode
STATUS_MONITOR=$(xset q | grep "DPMS is" | awk '{print $3}')
if [ "$STATUS_MONITOR" == "Enabled" ]; then
xset s off
xset -dpms
notify-send -t 5000 “The computer is now in Presentation Mode”
else
xset s on
xset +dpms
notify-send -t 5000 “The computer is now in Normal Mode”
fi

A desktop entry file to run the script (and appear in the Preferences menu):
/usr/local/share/applications/power-mode-toggler.desktop
