I have a similar behavior with just two of the screensavers: kswarm and kspace. They can be started by the "Test" button in the Configure Desctop -> Screen Saver menu, but not automatically. After the timeout, the mouse cursor disappears, the panel clock freezes, but otherwise nothing happens on the screen. This is a desktop machine running current Kubuntu Gutsy (32bit). I don't use screen locking. The behavior is the same with intel and nvidia drivers. Adding DPMS-dependent=false does not help.
Other screensavers that I tried (kclock, klines and some others) do work. -- [gutsy] Screensavers don't start automatically in Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155490 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
