Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kscreensaver
lsb_release -rd -> Ubuntu 8.10 Using Kubuntu SimulateUserActivity should deactivate screensaver as though the user poked some keys. But this doesn't work. The following should trigger the screensaver, wait 5 seconds and then unstick the saver (maybe prompting for a password). Instead the saver stays active until the user moves the mouse or presses a key. $ dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.SetActive boolean:true ; sleep 5 ; dbus- send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity ** Affects: kdeartwork (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: kscreensaver lsb_release -rd -> Ubuntu 8.10 Using Kubuntu SimulateUserActivity should deactivate screensaver as though the user poked some keys.
