          Open your System Settings. We need to make changes to Power and Brightness & Lock settings.



          System Settings



          Power Settings



          Change the value of Suspend when inactive for to Don't suspend.



          Power Settings



          Brightness & Lock Settings



          Change the value of Turn screen off when inactive for to Never.



          Brightness & Lock Settings



          This should help to achieve your desired result.

            Thanks. For my particular issue (my speakers which were powered by the monitor would turn off when the screen gets locked) I just had to disable a setting of the display itself. Still, this answers the question I asked.

          Looks like running XScreenSaver prevents screen turning off on Ubuntu 17.10 while accepted answer has no effect.

          Not sure if it was installed by default.



          Basic quickstart:



          sudo apt-get install -y xscreensaver
          xscreensaver -nosplash &
          xscreensaver-command -lock
