There currently is support for gnome-screensaver in a patch that I added last year. Are you sure you started gnome-screensaver *prior* to starting mythtv-frontend?
Take a look at the output of mythfrontend when starting: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mythfrontend -O ThemePainter=qt 2007-04-05 09:22:59.437 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2007-04-05 09:22:59.453 Gnome-Screensaver support enabled 2007-04-05 09:22:59.453 DPMS is active. 2007-04-05 09:22:59.476 New DB connection, total: 1 2007-04-05 09:22:59.486 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: mythdell 2007-04-05 09:22:59.487 Total desktop dim: 1600x1200, with 1 screen[s]. 2007-04-05 09:22:59.490 Using screen 0, 1600x1200 at 0,0 2007-04-05 09:22:59.513 Setting 'ThemePainter' being forced to 'qt' 2007-04-05 09:22:59.515 Current Schema Version: 1160 2007-04-05 09:22:59.516 mythfrontend version: 0.20.20060828-3 www.mythtv.org 2007-04-05 09:22:59.516 Enabled verbose msgs: important general 2007-04-05 09:23:00.114 Total desktop dim: 1600x1200, with 1 screen[s]. 2007-04-05 09:23:00.118 Using screen 0, 1600x1200 at 0,0 2007-04-05 09:23:00.120 Switching to square mode (MythCenter) 2007-04-05 09:23:00.239 Using the Qt painter mythtv: could not connect to socket mythtv: Connection refused lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages 2007-04-05 09:23:00.762 Joystick disabled. 2007-04-05 09:23:01.382 Loading from: /usr/share/mythtv/themes/G.A.N.T./base.xml 2007-04-05 09:23:01.500 Loading from: /usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/base.xml 2007-04-05 09:23:01.749 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin. 2007-04-05 09:23:01.873 Registering MythGallery Media Handler 1/2 as a media handler ext() 2007-04-05 09:23:01.875 Registering MythGallery Media Handler 2/2 as a media handler ext(gif,jpg,png) -- mythtv-frontend does not disable the gnome-screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
