Same thing here. Two observations may help debug this problem. 1) if I wait long enough for the monitor to go into hardware sleep, moving the mouse kills the screensaver.
2) Mouse motion kills the screensaver if it comes on while the log on screen is up. -- screensaver won't release with mouse movement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273142 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
