studio-user698EDinNY, hi13:01
studio-user698actualy 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-user698when not where13:03
OvenWerksEDinNY: 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
ErichEickmeyerAlso, I believe xscreensaver had security issues, and as such was depricated in favor of lightlocker.14:20
EDinNYThere was no icon on "settings" until I installed  xscreensaver14:21
OvenWerksEDinNY: it would be in power manager in settings14:21
ErichEickmeyerEDinNY: Just know you use xscreensaver at your own risk due to the security issues I just mentioned.14:21
OvenWerksunder display and security14:21
OvenWerksIf 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
OvenWerksErichEickmeyer: we may wish to create a *.desktop file that says screen saver but points at power manager :)14:24
ErichEickmeyerOvenWerks: Not a bad idea.14:24
OvenWerksOur icons already include a screen saver icon.14:28
OvenWerksErichEickmeyer: and a susehelpcenter?14:28
ErichEickmeyerOvenWerks: Wait... whut?14:33
* ErichEickmeyer smells a bug14:33
OvenWerksI am just looking at the gnome icons directory14:36
OvenWerksThere 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
