I think I've figured out there's a "gnome screensaver daemon" running, which acts as a screensaver that blanks the screen (without really turning it off).
The issue is there is no way to access its settings in System Settings to disable it. If I write "screensaver" in dash I can run an application called "Screensaver", which seems to have the settings to disable the screensaver. However, when I run it, it gives me (twice!!) a warning that says that there is already a gnome screenserver daemon running and that it must be stopped before. All this is ridiculous. If there is a screensaver, its settings should be easily accessible from System Settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244366 Title: no easy way to disable screensaver on 12.04 without installing additional tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1244366/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
