Disable ScreenSaver does not work with Xfce #44
Comments
Frontend: INFO: ScreenSaver not available: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver was not provided by any .service files |
You will have to install package that provides org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver service, gnome-screensaver, kscreensaver, cinnamon-screensaver, mate-screensaver etc. I didn't used xfce for some time but as I remember they didn't have something like xfce-screensaver, and plain xscreensaver package will not provide dbus service. |
Xubuntu does not use xscreensaver, instead it uses Light Locker. |
So Xubuntu by default doesn't use screensavers. That light locker is just a locker, replace it with something else if you want that to work. Anyway, nothing I can do there, M64Py uses freedesktop standard and Xubuntu/Light Locker doesn't implement it. |
Are you sure it does not implement freedesktop standard? It's a fork from gnome-screensaver: |
I am not sure, looks like it doesn't, but whatever, it is out of scope for m64py, try to ask them what is with org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver service. I don't think there is xubuntu specific way to enable/disable ss, this is standard, and it works where available. |
It seems it's already implemented, but not in 14.04: the-cavalry/light-locker@dfcfc98 Thanks! |
"Disable ScreenSaver" does not work with Xfce.
