Looking at the script, I'd guess it is because it detects the KDE desktop and tries to use dcop when KDE4 has moved to dbus, but that's just a guess. For example: $ xdg-screensaver activate call failed lsb_release -rd -> Ubuntu 8.10 Flavor is kbuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xdg-utils/+bug/310351/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
