Dec 22, 2008I've been a Linux user for years but just recently I decided to take the plunge and use Ubuntu Linux as my primary OS (with Windows on the side for any games that don't run well in CrossOver Games).
Anyway, one thing I was curious about was whether or not I could get some of my Windows screen savers to work on Linux. Specifically I had been using "Blue Screen", a cute little ss made by SysInternals that emulates various versions of Windows BSODs.
The file comes as a .scr file (like all Windows screen savers). I wanted to know if there was any program that converted .scr files into Linux compatable screen savers. If not, that's still OK as I've now been rocking "Electric Sheep"!
I'm running Ubuntu Linux 8.10 on a HP DV9000 with an 1.7GHz Intel Centrino Duo processor, 2GB ram, and an nVidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card.
Slackware :: KDE 4.4.5 - No Lock Screen - No Screen Saver
Aug 23, 2010What happens is that I resorted to deleting my .kde directory after my kid destroyed my profile where title bar, menu, konsole get broken. After deleting, I login again thus regenerating the .kde directory. To avoid my kid from messing my desktop, I tried to lock it. It does not lock.
It just need a KDE full restart perhaps since when I login the other day, it now works.
I'm updated to Slackware current for almost a month already and have not played a lot on KDE desktop (busy programming stuff).
However, on day I tried to lock the desktop in KDE to avoid the kid from destroying my cool desktop setting, but it didn't lock. Cool, so I tried screen saver and add an option to lock the screen.
When I test screen saver, it displays. But when I wait for 1 minute(I set it that way), it doesn't fire up. Not even after 15 minutes which I think the default.
It usually work before (several months ago) using the lower version of KDE. It is just last Saturday that I noticed it.
I tried to dig the profile management but I could not find anything relevant there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Can't Disable Screen Saver
Jun 30, 2010I have been having a problem with every Ubuntu version I have used where the screen blanks automatically after a few minutes when the computer is left alone.I have set all the settings in the system BIOS and power management settings to disable screen saving features. The screen saver options are set to the following: Pictures Folder, Idle after 2 hours, Activate when Idle unchecked.Require password is checked.
These are my settings, but in about 10 minutes of not being touched, each computer goes to a blank screen and I have to use my password to get back to the desktop.I originally installed Ubuntu 8.04.3 on my desktop, and I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on one of my laptop computers. I have sense upgraded the desktop to 9.10 and then to 10.04.I updated the first laptop to 10.04 and freshly installed 10.04 onto another laptop.I am having this same problem on all three computers and had the problem on each computer from the beginning.I ran update manager today about an hour ago and have not tested this problem, but I expect it is still there. I created a document with nothing but the time and left it on the laptop. I will see how long it takes for the screen blanker to activate.I searched the forum and found two unrelated problems, one of which was the opposite, someone who could not get the screen saver to activate.

Jan 7, 2011I have no GNOME Panels on my desktop. I stopped gnome-panel from booting altogether by going into the configuration editoring to "/desktop/gnome/session/required_components" changing the panel key to "gnome-panel(Orig)" so that the command just errors out. Then adding a key in that same path the key is a string "avant-window-navigator". Since I've done this the screensaver doesn't come up. Also pidgin never goes idle. Both are set to hit at thirty minutes but have not hit in almost a day. I thought the mouse might be moving slowly or something butunplugged it and let it sit for almost an hour and nothing. Also at that time I had a VirtualBox with Windows XP in it and that screensaver hit no problem

For the time being, I have no choice but to restart the computer in order to be able to resume work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Transparent Screen Saver ?
Jun 24, 2009Windows has it, so should Linux: A Transparent Screensaver. It sounds like an oxymoron, but it's a truly useful concept. An example would be a NOC environment where there is a need to display content on overhead screens. To display the content, they have to be logged in to have access to certain resources such as web browsers, or client applications to display the data.
It is insecure to leave these machines logged in, even in a controlled environment. What is needed is a transparent screensaver that can lock the terminal to prevent unauthorized use, but still display the entire screen. The screensaver would display a dialog box to enter the user credentials upon mouse movement or keyboard activity. If no credentials were presented, the dialog would disappear.

Ubuntu :: Screen Saver Freezes After Startup?
May 6, 2011I did a fresh install of 11.04 a week ago and I had my screen saver set to run 'Floating Feet' after 15 minutes idle time. Twice I've left my computer, and returned, clicked the mouse, and found my computer frozen on the screen saver. I was able to recover once by hitting the power button, which brought up the shut down/restart options and normal desktop. It hasn't happened since I turned off the screen saver, so I'll just leave it that way until a solution arises.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Screen Saver Blocking Out Programmes
Sep 24, 2009I am using Mepis 8 and ever since the upgrade I have noticed that the screen saver takes over the screen even if a programme is running. This happens even whether the programme is in a window or the full screen.
Now I am quite sure this did not happen before the OS upgrade when it was underneath the running programme. At the moment the only solution I have is to active the screen saver at something like 120 minutes!
Incidentally I also notice that you cannot not have a screen saver. The minimum is a blank screen.
Do anyone know if it is possible to make the screen saver run in the background? Of course this may be a KDE problem.
