      hey guys, got everything working on my Ubuntu machine perfectly, however after 5-10 mins the monitor turns off and I get the Ubuntu lock screen. I can reboot and it's fine again obviously, I can killall retroarch and it will reload and take me back to the menu and the screen turns back on...

      but launching any rom gets to the 'launching xxxx press button to configure' and when the rom launches the monitor turns off again (im guessing because its stuck on the lockscreen in the background) is there anyway to turn this garbage off via ssh? all the dconf strings dont work as it throws up an error about no display
