I have no idea whether it should be considered a bug of either program, but I'd report it if necessary. Now xscreensaver does start when it must, changes animation (even fancy stupid ones) every minute, and wakes up the screen only when some input happens. So I've stopped launching it in the i3 config file, and I'll try to find another way to manage my power (I'm an ex-Xfce-ist that only recently converted to i3). I thought I'd tried killing it to run xscreensaver, but either I didn't, or I did but it still had engaged something™ that conflicted with xscreensaver. Well, we can skip all that because I've found the culprit: xfce4-power-manager.
#Xscreensaver rviz crash driver
Sounds as if something™ is causing input, but ignored by dpms and caught by xscreensaver.Īlso, do you use the libinput or evdev driver and does it matter?

So, XFCE's session and startup configuration, when it invokes xflock4, it eventually invokes the command above too, and my screen gets properly locked! It's working great and I only have to set it up properly by going to Settings > Xscreensaver options / Power Manager options / Session and Startup options (changing the settings graphically). Its command to lock (listed in xflock4) works fine: xscreensaver-command -l
#Xscreensaver rviz crash install
Note: gnome-screensaver and light-locker were NOT installed at the same time.įinally, I've installed xscreensaver: sudo apt install xscreensaver So I uninstalled them all (light-locker, light-locker-settings, and gnome-screensaver). ** Message: Received error message from the locker: GDBus.Error.NotSupported: This method is The errors for the 2 commands above were similar: Then I tried installing light-locker, but its commands (listed in xflock4) also gave me errors on the command line: light-locker-command -l I first tried installing gnome-screensaver, but its command (listed in xflock4) gave me errors on the command line: gnome-screensaver-command -l Xflock4, in turn, doesn't lock anything, but tries to use any locker installed (such as xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver or light-locker). Well, if the option above is checked, then xfce4-session-logout will invoke: /usr/bin/xflock4 That is the same as the one you can find at the XFCE Power Manager > tab "System", option "Lock the screen when the computer is suspended". In XFCE settings > "Session and Startup", the last tab "Advanced" has an option to "Lock screen before suspending". In XFCE, once you suspend, that's the command that the system invokes: xfce4-session-logout -s Would it be safe to remove xscreensaver (which is uglier)? And is there a way to make "Lightlicker settings" actually work and allow me to configure its timeouts? Or should I keep xscreensaver and remove lightlocker? So I can only configure sleep timeouts for xscreensaver. I have a "Lightlocker settings" icon on my "Settings" app, but it doesn't work. Having them working at the same time presents no huge problem for me, but it looks inconsistent. This is my production workstation and I'm afraid of messing it. Ii xscreensaver-data 5.36-1ubuntu1 amd64 Screen saver modules for screensaver frontends Ii xscreensaver 5.36-1ubuntu1 amd64 Screensaver daemon and frontend for X11 Ii light-locker-settings 1.5.0-0ubuntu2 all simple configuration tool for light-locker Ii light-locker 1.8.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 simple screen locker for lightDM display manager Rc gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-8ubuntu3 amd64 GNOME screen saver and locker I have them both installed, apparently: $ sudo dpkg -l | grep locker
It worked beautifully, but now, sometimes xscreensaver locks my screen, sometimes lightlocker does. Sudo apt-get remove nautilus nautilus-* gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gnome-termina* gnome-pane* gnome-applet* gnome-bluetooth gnome-desktop* gnome-sessio* gnome-user* gnome-shell-common zeitgeist-core libzeitgeist* gnome-control-center gnome-screenshot & sudo apt-get autoremove So I installed Xubuntu-desktop: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop synaptic I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 but found gnome too heavy for my old hardware.
