I have uninstalled xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver from my FC17 install, and yet my screensaver still activates after ten or so minutes. That is, the screen goes blank, and I have to enter my password to get back in.
How do I disable my screensaver?
SMPlayer there is an option to disable the screensaver, but does not work.The tick box is checked by default but still it doesn't work.SMPlayer > Options> Preferences > General > Video > Disable Screensaver.Steps to Reproduce:1. Open SMPlayer2. Load a Movie3. Wait.... wait... SCREENSAVER.... (ruins the movie).But vlc works fine.
I just installed 9.10 I've noticed a small problem. The screensaver works fine when my laptop is running on AC power, but when it runs on battery power, the screensaver doesn't appear when locking the screen or waiting for it to activate. The screen does fade to black, and locks, but no screensaver...just a black screen.
and how do i set the screen saver to be a single image

On the Gnome menu, go to System > Preferences, scroll down the Preferences list and you will see the Screensaver option.
Caffeine is a small panel applet that lets you temporarily disable screensaver and sleep or powersaving mode in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid.

The keyboard shortcut was relatively easy:
-- Lock screen
awful.key(
{ "Mod1", "Control" },
"l",
function ()
awful.util.spawn("gnome-screensaver-com
How to run a web browser as a screensaver
From that link, I can now set chromium-browser in ubuntu - gnome in kiosk mode (fullscreen mode) to display a web page (acting as screensaver). Everything is working fine.
I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my Dell Dimension 3000 machine. For some reason, the screensaver doesn't kick in at all. The screen goes to sleep properly when set but none of the screensaver modules make any difference in getting the screensaver to work properly. What should I do?
I was trying to figure out difference between
gnome-screensaver-command -a
and
gnome-screensaver-command -l
According to the gnome-screensaver-command man page...
-l, --lock Tells the running screensaver process to lock the screen immediately
-a, --activate Turn the screensaver on (blank the screen)
For me in both the cases it generated the login screen.Can s
