studio-user698 | EDinNY, hi | 13:01 |
studio-user698 | actualy i don't know defaults setting for screne saver but you can install xscreensaver in order to make your scren funky where your not in front of your computer .. | 13:02 |
studio-user698 | (i m not from ubuntu studio staff just end user) | 13:02 |
studio-user698 | when not where | 13:03 |
OvenWerks | EDinNY: Ya you have to actually install a screen saver. Studio just uses the power manager to blank the screen after a period of inactivity. I think the reason was twofold. First that there were some issues with the screen savers locking up at the time and second blanked was though to be a better choice for something that may end up in a business. | 14:19 |
ErichEickmeyer | Also, I believe xscreensaver had security issues, and as such was depricated in favor of lightlocker. | 14:20 |
EDinNY | There was no icon on "settings" until I installed xscreensaver | 14:21 |
OvenWerks | EDinNY: it would be in power manager in settings | 14:21 |
ErichEickmeyer | EDinNY: Just know you use xscreensaver at your own risk due to the security issues I just mentioned. | 14:21 |
OvenWerks | under display and security | 14:21 |
OvenWerks | If there is no public access to the system there should not be a problem. (though I don't know about remote access stuff as I don't use it) | 14:23 |
OvenWerks | ErichEickmeyer: we may wish to create a *.desktop file that says screen saver but points at power manager :) | 14:24 |
ErichEickmeyer | OvenWerks: Not a bad idea. | 14:24 |
OvenWerks | Our icons already include a screen saver icon. | 14:28 |
OvenWerks | ErichEickmeyer: and a susehelpcenter? | 14:28 |
ErichEickmeyer | OvenWerks: Wait... whut? | 14:33 |
* ErichEickmeyer smells a bug | 14:33 | |
OvenWerks | I am just looking at the gnome icons directory | 14:36 |
OvenWerks | There are three icons the same (maybe more): xfce-man, susehelpcenter, khelpcenter, help-browser, gnome-help.. the original seems to be help-browser and the rest are links. | 14:39 |
