Before I saw Alan's, and Till's replies I decided to try "pkg uninstall desktop/xscreensaver" . I'd not done so, thinking it might cause some kind of unforeseen problems. But it seemed to go off without problems. Followed with reboot, and when it came back up all seems ok. I left it long enough for locking to occur but it did not, so maybe it worked without problems (fingers crossed) ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Screen locking with XScreenSaver disabled
Hi all, this is on my OI installation: :; pkg list *screen* NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO desktop/mate/mate-screensaver 1.26.2-2023.0.0.0 i-- desktop/mate/mate-screenshot 1.26.1-2023.0.0.0 i-- desktop/xscreensaver 6.8-2023.0.0.0 i-- desktop/xscreensaver/hacks 6.8-2023.0.0.0 i-- desktop/xscreensaver/hacks/hacks-gl 6.8-2023.0.0.0 i-- terminal/screen 4.9.1-2023.0.0.2 i-- I am *using* mate-screensaver because I want my screen locked. If I recall properly, preferred applications in mate settings is used to define which screen saver is to be used/started. You 1st image shows xScreenSaver and 2nd one is disabled mate-screensaver (not ATM at GUI screen, so I cannot confirm for sure) HTH Regards.

I seem to recall that being the default screensaver, but it has been many years since I used Gnome or Mate. Some things you might try, if you haven't already: - run xscreensaver-settings, check for any suspicious settings there - check file ~/.xscreensaver (if exists) - check file /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver - check for a running xscreensaver daemon if you find such a process maybe you can find out what is launching it with the command "ptree" - if this is a single user machine and you never want locking, maybe just uninstall desktop/xscreensaver? -- Matthew R.
