Another option I just discovered would be something like this: while true; do dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver --type=method_call /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity; sleep 30; done
30 should be slightly less than your screensaver timeout (in seconds). This wouldn't require a WindowID, and when you're done, just do a Ctrl-C to resume the screensaver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988949 Title: cannot inhibit gnome screensaver via gnome-screensaver-command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/988949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
