You have provided lots of details which don't help us help you. But,
alas, you left out the interesting tidbits :-)
Soooo, what do I remove to absolutely, permanently disable the screen
blanker? And I mean no chance it can ever do that to me again.
There are many incarnations of screen blankers, so there are different
incantations. Possibly, the one you are after is DPMS, where the monitor
is signalled (via the VESA DPMS mechanism) to shut off.
Assuming, again, you are under X11, there is "xset s off", which would
disable the screensaver *and* the DPMS blanking. See the xset man page
for all the gory details. This [1] is a good overview for all the
other things you might want to try.
That apparently turned it off for this boot. Where do I do it in the
boot so It is always turned off? I think its runnin x, not wayland. or
is it, I just checked, its blanked again. I issued xset s noblank, xset
q says dpms is enabled. So I disabled it again.
AArch64 debian, what do I remove to totally disable the screen blanker?
I don't even want it installed. in other words, noblank for the next 20
years.... Apparently it is running wayland, and I can't run sudo synapticc.
Lets start by fixing that?
Most desktop environments have a set of buttons and dials to achieve
the same. That said, I don't "do" DEs, so I might be lying here.
For Wayland, you'd have to ask someone smarter than me.
Hope this gives you some leads to follow.
Cheers
