Caffeine, Solution to Computer Sleep

This is a solution to a problem I had raised in a previous post, that of the computer going to sleep while watching a video usually with flash player.

Thankfully I found an app that targets this specific problem. It's called Caffeine and it does exactly that. It allows you to add programs that will prevent the computer from sleeping while their running. It even has an option specific to Adobe Flash Player.

Here is a picture demonstrating this:

Its pretty simple and straight forward to use.

How to install:

Just copy paste the following commands in the Terminal


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppa

sudo apt-get update



sudo apt-get install caffeine python-glade2

Tip: Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com takes a long time?
