If you want to watch a moive in Ubuntu,you might want to disable the screensaver and make the display never asleep.And this quick tutorial will show you how to do this.
First go to System->Preferences->Screensaver.You will see the following screen,un-check “Active screensaver when computer is adle” and “Lock screen when sceensaver is active”.
Then,click on Power Management button at bottom.Under Display,set “Put display to sleep when inactive for” to Never.

Won’t work on my system
It would be nice if we had a little background information. Not just a recipe, click here, click there.
Anyway thank you for the effort, I’m sure it works for some.

I got fed up with the screen keep going to sleep when flying X-Plane 9. Went to System > Preferences > Screensaver, and slid the timer bar across to max 2 hours.
Now I have at least 2 hours before the screen goes to sleep from the last time the mouse got moved.
I had tried to put never into the power save mode, but this NEVER worked for me.

Hello,
I make a file “noscreensaver.ksh” with content:
#!/bin/bash
echo “Remove screen saver – press CTRL-C to finish”
gnome-screensaver-command -d
Execute this file before watch your movie and the screen save is disabled.
