Today, after a system update, gnome-screensaver and VLC received new versions:
$ apt-cache policy gnome-screensaver gnome-screensaver: Instalado: 2.28.0-0ubuntu3 Candidato: 2.28.0-0ubuntu3 Tabela de versão: *** 2.28.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy vlc vlc: Instalado: 1.0.2-1ubuntu2 Candidato: 1.0.2-1ubuntu2 Tabela de versão: *** 1.0.2-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Then I perfomed a new test: this time VLC worked fine and stopped the screensaver, without the gnome-screensaver package from the PPA! It appears the problem is fixed. -- Vlc does not inhibit screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428884 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
