[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1488077] Re: Have the optional ability to have a screensaver
I have been using xscreensaver since gnome stopped using a screensaver. I dont use lock screen,and it has had no effect on gnome shell that I could determine.One way of doing it is to have screen saver in the start menu. Xscreensaver works as a stand alone and would need no patch. The way it is now you have to set it up to start at boot and most people would have trouble doing that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1488077 Title: Have the optional ability to have a screensaver Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Opinion Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Even though I understand that Ubuntu early on decided to move away from screensavers and to just have a black screen, not all users will like this.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1488077] Re: Have the optional ability to have a screensaver
We don't install gnome-screensaver since it is not used under gnome- shell, in fact the lock screen is an integration between gnome- shell/gdm. using gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver is likely to break that. Adding a screensaver to gnome-shell and a panel to configure it would be a pretty big task, far too large to carry as a Distro patch. So would have to be something upstream agreed on (I'm not sure what their take on screensavers is though) Short of that the closest you could probably get, is to create an animated background and set the for the lockscreen and disable dpms -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1488077 Title: Have the optional ability to have a screensaver Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Opinion Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Even though I understand that Ubuntu early on decided to move away from screensavers and to just have a black screen, not all users will like this.
