If you want to manually lock the screen with the keyboard combination CTRL+ ALT+ L then you will need to run the following to repoint the old gnome-screensaver lock to xscreensaver sudo ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command Now to start the xscreensaver daemon on login you need to search in Dash for startup applicationsĬreate a new entry running the command xscreensaver -nosplash Now start the xscreensaver configuration tool - from a terminal: xscreensaver-demoĬlick OK to both prompts asking to turn-off Gnome Daemon and to start xscreensaver-daemon respectively. Now remove gnome-screensaver sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver (its also the Raspberry Pi recommended way) sudo apt-get install xscreensaver You. Or possibly: Open ' System Settings ' and select ' Screen Locking '. Open the ' Control Center ' and select the ' Appearance & Themes / Screensaver ' page. Potential workaround - installing xscreensaver sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra and I could go through the process of installing Raspberry Pi OS. To replace the KDE screen saver with xscreensaver, do the following: 1: Turn off KDE's screen saver. However, at the time of writing, no implementation has been started. The Canonical Devs thought it was a useful idea to continue and raised a blue-print for implementation in Oneiric.Ī few ideas were raised such as a Compiz specific implementation or reusing a Lubuntu/Xubuntu screensaver implementation. The replacement screensaver is just a blank screen. The Gnome 3 Devs dumped the old gnome-screensaver.
