That's just what I named the state produced by these settings. It's
what you would want if you were giving a presentation, playing a movie,
etc. and didn't want the screen to blank.

Hi John,
I'll check this out on the weekend. Not sure what "Presentation mode"
is in the context of ltsp?
Thanks!

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):
