Thanks, Rex. I happen to be a GNOME user myself, but more importantly, I need an xdg-screensaver that works for users there.
If you have any suggestions that you'd be happier with, I'm all ears. Note that we're talking about GNOME 3/gnome-shell, so gnome-screensaver can't be assumed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310351 Title: Kubuntu screensaver xdg-screensaver broken Status in Xdg-utils: Unknown Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xdg-utils package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: kscreensaver xdg-screensaver returns "bad call" for all values tested. Looking at the script, I'd guess it is because it detects the KDE desktop and tries to use dcop when KDE4 has moved to dbus, but that's just a guess. For example: $ xdg-screensaver activate call failed lsb_release -rd -> Ubuntu 8.10 Flavor is kbuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xdg-utils/+bug/310351/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
