[ubuntu] Minor weird Unity behavior (3): Lock screen works randomly when idling

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi I'm using 11.10 with Unity. I have observed that lock screen does not behave consistently after the machine has been idling for a while and resuming from screen saving. Types of behavior is one of: - From screen saver to login screen (expected, ~50%) - From screen saver to desktop (a few secs, sometimes allowing interaction) then black screen then login screen (not expected, ~30%) - From screen saver to desktop (not expected, ~20%) Doesn't bother me as such, but is not reliable in certain circumstances. thanks f (Hardware)

Back to Windows NT 4.0 there where a screen saver named "Windows logon". It mimic the usual logon screen (but the dialogue box moved randomly on the screen to avoid some burning process). I think it was also available with Windows 2000.

On Windows 2003 it is not longer available.

Is there a way to: 1. lock a session after a defined timeout 2.

Friends--

Lubuntu 12.04 fresh install. I login from the computer. I then login via ssh from another computer. When the first session screen locks after X minutes, my ssh session is killed or at least locked. When I go back to the physical machine and login, then I can continue my ssh session. How can I shut off this behavior so my ssh session is not interrupted?

[lubuntu] screen saver 12 weeks 23 hours ago

Just installed Lubuntu on older laptop, works great, I'm very happy with it, but two questions:

1- how do I turn screen saver off? I have set the power settings to turn off screen after 10 minutes.

Screen Saver Does Not Work 3 years 31 weeks ago

Hi,

If I reboot my Fedora 11 (HP 4000DV Centrino System). The screen saver will fire *one* time and the system will eventually suspend itself.

After I wake the machine, the screen saver will not kick in and the system will not suspend. The screen *will* blank but will not turn off.

Is this problem unique to me :)

Is my system hacked?? 1 year 2 weeks ago

I am using fedora 16(kde) when I lock the screen, a very obsolete black screen saver( just like old antenna TVs), resolutions is 3/4 of my screen, its head is 'APPLE ][' in bold..........and some code is constanly wriiten and executed like: ]1 REM APPLE ][ SCREEN SAVER //head APPLE ][ gets removed ]10 GR ]100 COLOR=RND(1)*16 ..... ....

I've searched the forums and the googles for guidance on this but haven't found anything yet.

I hide usernames on the login screen and I would like to do the same on the lock screen. I would be happy with hiding my name or username (full name appears by default) or being taken directly to the login screen from lock. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance!

I have disabled power management and un-installed gnome-screen-saver and themes. But the screen keeps going black, and it don't go into power-save. Exactly as if the screen-saver was present ....

Can it be xdg-utils ?

I've installed the xscreensaver, and want to remove the default KDE screen saver so the two don't conflict. I couldn't find the KDE screen saver in the installed software list. How can I remove the KDE screen saver?

I'm running kubuntu 12.04 LTS. :confused:

Hi cento,For what it is worth I recently had sort of the reverse issue on my dual monitor desktop. When the screen saver kicked in the screen went dark as expected. When I moved the mou... [by taylorkh]
