Re: What is Gnome Screensaver?
Re: What is Gnome Screensaver? Ans: Neutered... Even as far back as, at least, Fedora 17, Gnome's screensaver will only blank the screen. I miss the picture slide show screensaver, and installing the old X screensaver was a seriously broken attempt at getting that feature back again. It's as buggy as hell. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

I have had problems with screensaver in recent versions of Fedora, and ha given up on it and just went with the standard blank screen. I have found that with Fedora 20, it works fine. # yum install xscreensaver And use Screensaver to configure it. I also used the power settings to set blank screen to never.

What is Gnome Screensaver?
I have it installed, but AFAICT it doesn't do anything, nor is there a GUI to config it. I've installed xscreensaver because I enjoy a few minutes of eye candy before the monitor is turned off. Please do not reply telling me you don't use gnome and I'm at fault or in some way deficient for using it. Thanks. -- -- Steve -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

GNOME Screensaver is deprecated (as far as I'm aware) in GNOME in favor of the GNOME Shell lock shield. That being said, I believe it still exists in the repositories for use with the Mate desktop, which uses it as both the standard screensaver and the lock screen. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlLVowgACgkQeiVVYja6o6NILQCdFsDfA+PkRGowBqDo5hjTGvO/ GcoAnRkj3MAa7Ro3BieZ8lXsNAC1An4H =GIzz -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
