In this article I will show you how to install Caffeine on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10, Linux Mint 12 and Linux Mint 13.
Caffeine is a life saver software. It blocks the PC from suspending, or get the screen locked, when some applications are running.
I use it to disable any kind of suspend or screen saver action when I watch movies (have VLC or Mplayer opened).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppa
