| de-facto | so what options would i have in gnome for a screensaver? i installed gnome-screensaver, but it does not have ANY options in settings, wheni launch it via cli it just says its already running, well GREAT, where can i configure this? | 11:31 |
|---|---|---|
| de-facto | is gnome-screensaver broken atm? or are there better options? what about xscreensaver instead? | 11:32 |
| jbicha | gnome-screensaver these days intentionally only blanks the screen | 11:43 |
| de-facto | hmm but gnome itself already can do that, i dont understand the purpose for the existence of gnome-screensaver then | 11:50 |
| de-facto | are there any options for having a classic screensaver like in the old gnome2 days? | 11:50 |
| jbicha | gnome uses gnome-screensaver to blank the screen | 11:51 |
| jbicha | you can try xscreensaver; I don't know how difficult it is to integrate with GNOME 3 | 11:52 |
| de-facto | it was not installed on my box and it had that lockscreen blank out already | 11:53 |
| de-facto | i dont understand why all those options got removed, every release it seems there are less features avail | 11:56 |
| de-facto | for example there was a dialogue for choosing the pixel ordering of screens in gnome2 | 11:56 |
| de-facto | was done really well, nice and clean and worked just perfectly | 11:57 |
| de-facto | nowerdays i have to click through dconf and find that setting there everytime i use gnome 3 on a BGR screen | 11:57 |
| de-facto | if i dont know that black magic, i would have to sit back and arrange myself with rainbow colored fonts | 11:58 |
| de-facto | in old gnome2 i just would have to be curious enough to click on settings and there, problem solved | 11:58 |
| jbicha | gnome-screensaver dropped support for doing more than blanking screens about 5 years ago | 11:59 |
| de-facto | yeah so its useless nowerdays, what for would i need gnome-screensaver then if it does exactly the same that gnome already can do without it? | 11:59 |
| jbicha | blanking the screen is all most people need now | 12:02 |
| jbicha | you're right that gnome-screensaver is not installed by default now; I forgot | 12:03 |
| de-facto | well it seems xscreensaver does not integrate at all with gnome, so i disable screen lock in gnome and let xscreensaver do it on its own :( | 12:28 |

| tux|dude | Just installed gnome remix yesterday. Made the jump from kubuntu. Found that while I liked plasma 5 it still had a few issues | 20:47 |
