For me it fixes the bug from the description : "the screen starts to fade, but then immediately returns to the desktop instead of starting the screensaver".
(Note that I still have just a blank screen rather than a specific screensaver if running on battery, but this is not what this bug is about, and I tend to consider this a feature rather than a bug). For those who still report failure with xorg-server 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu1 installed, maybe you're experiencing a slightly different bug, that might warrant a separate bug report. In particular, I know Oliver could workaround the issue by setting xset -dpms in a terminal window, which I couldn't. -- Screensaver doesn't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
