How can I stop my TV from turning off when my Linux box is idle? (self.linuxquestions)

I have a box running kodi in standalone mode with X11. My TV displays "no signal" if I leave it for too long, does anyone know how to stop this from happening?

I can still ssh into the box and use the remote app Kore so the system hasn't suspended or anything like that.

Pressing up/down etc on the kore remote, which should change what is displayed on screen, doesn't wake kodi up. However, I can wake it up if I tell Kodi to play a video.

I spent a few years looking for this solution. I will be able to check the exact config on that system tomorrow. If I forget to reply just send me a message.

The system has an intel onboard gpu, some low powered cpu with hdmi out. It's running Arch with Mesa drivers, hooked directly to TV.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I found a solution a few years ago but didn't write it down. Then the drive failed so I had to set everything up from scratch again!
