Prevent log in screen from disappearing too fast after booting in Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome
Enter these commands in your terminal to prevent the log in screen after boot to disappear too quickly:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 900
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay "uint32 900"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay "uint32 900"
You can always see the current settings fx for "idle", or anything with this command:
gsettings list-recursively | grep idle
NOTE: If you install Anaconda it might install its own version of glib, taking over gsettings, which might result in the error: "GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications." when trying to use gsettings. A work around is to use "/usr/bin/gsettings" to access the original gsettings.
