UPDATE:- The repository has been taken down for the version of Caffeine used in this post. Stay tuned for an updated post.
Caffeine is a “A status bar application able to temporarily prevent the activation of both the screensaver and the “sleep” power saving mode.” It comes very handy when you are watching a movie (VLC already blocks screensavers) or working on a project that requires you to get off the screen from time to time.
zhonghuaren has graciously packaged caffeine for OpenSuse and Fedora at build.opensuse.org.
Adding the repository.
|
1 |
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/<br/>wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:zhonghuaren/Fedora_20/home:zhonghuaren.repo<br/> |
zhonghuaren‘s package is missing two vital packages gconf and pynotify for Caffeine to work.
Installing dependencies.

The above dependencies might not be needed depending on your choice of desktop environment.
