I do long operations which are steadily getting broken by any power or screen saving utility, so I want to have ubuntu without any power or screensaving programs.

I tried:

sudo apt autoremove --purge light-locker*

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

OK, I do not want this. I would like to remove light-locker and xscreensaver totally.

Can you help me? :-)

Thanks

PS. What I have found in the meantime:

less /usr/bin/lxlock This is the program/script that starts various external lockers. You can edit it in nano

 sudo nano /usr/bin/lxlock

and put "exit" on the second row, so you computer will not get locked at any time.

It is not a nice way to do it, but it works.

From the given posibillities (man lxlock), I guess the smallest are suckless-tools.

I got it via this strange command:

 sudo apt autoremove light-locker* gconf-service gconf-service-backend gconf2 gconf2-common libart-2.0-2 libbonobo2-0 libbonobo2-common libbonoboui2-0 gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gnome-settings-daemon-schemas libjpeg-turbo-progs libpam-gnome-keyring libupower-glib3 i3lock libev4

This installs (sic!) the suckless tools. :-))))

Spurious totally, isn't it? :-)
