Re: xscreensaver cannot lock: no screensaver running on display
Hi, That's the problem... xscreensaver -- this works and xscreensaver is then running.It's being run as my user, i.e. not root. xscreensaver-command -lock -- this does not work. I always receive the error below... host1:myuser:~ xscreensaver [1] 32231 host1:myuser:~ ps -ef | grep xscreen myuser 32231 32228 0 09:06 pts/000:00:00 xscreensaver myuser 32234 32228 0 09:07 pts/000:00:00 grep xscreen host1:myuser:~ xscreensaver-command -lock xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0 The xscreensaver is running but I cannot lock the screen. I'm on display :0.0 as well. If I start xscreensaver with the command.. host1:myuser:~ xscreensaver -display :0.0 it makes no difference.
