[ubuntu] xscreensaver

Hi! I am using 12.04 A few days ago I installed xscreensaver but after I removed it. Now it still works, after ten minutes my screen become black (it's very annoying at watching movies)

What I've done:sudo apt-get remove xscreensaver I removed everything from startup applications Deleted ~/.xscreensaver

After those, it still works. Could anyone help?

XScreenSaver is the standard screen saver collection shipped on most Linux and Unix systems running the X11 Window System. On X11 systems, XScreenSaver is two things: it is both a large collection of screen savers; and it is also the framework for blanking and locking the screen.

I followed the direction in http://www.noobslab.com/2012/04/impo...nstall_26.html

In order to enable xscreensaver.

Quote:

nstall XSreenSaver with following commands: sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra

create file for autostart:

sudo gedit /etc/xdg/autostart/screensaver.desktop

I disabled gnome screensaver and installed xscreensaver as below: sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra

Then I launched the xscreensaver-demo by typing "screensaver" in the dash.

It would be great if i could write a script where,

after 10 or so minutes of inactivity, electricsheep was launched full screen. Upon movement of the mouse during this full screen session, electricsheep would quit and I would be back in my desktop.

Or

Is there another way already in existence to use electricsheep without having to install xscreensaver?

I just discovered that xscreensaver is not functional with the lockscreen button in F17/GNOME 3.4.1. I wanted to make sure of this so I re-installed gnome-screensaver. The lockscreen button did operate correctly then. But since I want to use xscreensaver the question arises. Can the lockscreen button on the panel be made to operate when xscreensaver is installed?

My problem: The LCD display on my laptop wouldn't always go to DMPS sleep. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. I tried: All sorts of fixes including updates to xserver and gnome-power-manager ... but no luck.

Flyingwindows is intended for xscreensaver but it wouldn't compile. Before getting into that, on my Ubuntu 12.04, every existing xscreensaver file seems to have a binary in /usr/lib/xscreensaver and an xml file in /usr/share/screensaver/config. There's no xml file to be seen after untarring.

Here's what I did: Copied the flyingwindows-0.2 folder into the /usr/share/xscreensaver directory.

I'm thinking through alerting stuff, and decided that, if my screen is locked, I'm not there so I should push the alerts to my phone. But, I cannot currently tell if the screen is locked. I could put something together with Perl and xscreensaver-command -watch, but I'd rather not have to make sure I have that process always running and all. That seems too heavy.

Is there something I'm missing?
