I 'm having a terrible time trying to figure out how to disable screen blanking on my raspberry pi

I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out how to disable screen blanking on my raspberry pi. I'm using the latest version of stretch.

 

I've googled my way into Oblivion.

 

I know I can install xscreensaver and change some settings in the GUI, but I'm trying to find a simple terminal command that will disable screenshot blanking on the GUI, without having to touch the GUI.

 

Does anyone have a tried and true method they personally use? Nothing I find seems to work. I have a setup script I put together to turn my pi into a slideshow presenter, but this is a major hold up for me.

Found it, I think. It's been running for about an hour. Going to try it all night.

 

I added the following to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
