[olpc-help] I can't turn off sleep mode, please help

[J Freud Reia]

Hello all, we have an OLPC that is part of a new exhibition that we
have. I have been given permission by it's owner to leave the OLPC on
but, when plugged in, after 10 mins of inactivity, it automatically goes
into Sleep Mode. I have read the support wiki so I realize that this is
standard behavior but, I need to turn it off and I haven't found any
solutions that work. 

 

I must confess, I am finding this version of Linux to be a little hard
to use. I only have a few hours to get this working and I'm hoping that
you can help me.

 

I have tried the following methods to turn off Sleep Mode:

*	For one boot (till the laptop is rebooted): 

	*	As root, type: 

     /sbin/service ohmd stop

*	For all reboots: 

	*	As root, type: 

     rpm -e ohm
 
This returns "package ohm not installed"

*	More recently, you can turn off suspend/resume by typing: touch
/etc/ohm/inhibit-suspend 

There's nothing to touch...

 

The OLPC was delivered in December and has Firmware version CL1 Q2D06
Q2D, does anyone know if there are other ways to turn off sleep mode?

 

Please Help!
