@xfx: This seems to work partially for me on: $ uname -srvmo Linux 2.6.35-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 30 19:00:03 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
(Maverick Meerkat) I have gnome-screensaver installed, and I also had to install gnome- desktop-sharp2 after seeing an error referencing "gnomedesktop-sharp" when I tried to run screensaver-settings from the terminal. Once I installed gnome-desktop-sharp2 I was able to start screensaver-settings from the terminal and the GUI interface seemed to work fully. However, I set the time to activate the screensaver to "1" (minute?) and did not see the screensaver activate. I tried both with and without gnome-screensaver installed. Did not try with xscreensaver installed. Also, the interface did not seem to get the cycle delay for randomly chosen screensavers to stick. I have not done a reboot or log out/in. Got work to do, can't interrupt that. For now I am going back to xscreensaver, but thanks for the work you've done on this. I think getting Canonical to help might be tough because of Mono/C#. But certainly would be great to figure out what packages are required for this to work, and a quick overview of installation/use would help. I'd recommend setting up a vanilla VM under VirtualBox, for example, and seeing what has to be done to get this working correctly. Of course this bug still wouldn't be solved since gnome-screensaver itself is forever completely broken, but at least there would be a workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22007 Title: no 'Settings' button in gnome-screensaver Status in GNOME Screensaver: Won't Fix Status in NULL Project: Invalid Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: There is no settings button in gnome-screensaver, thus I am unable to change the settings for any screensaver.
