annoying screensaver in opensuse 11.1 & kde 4.1.3

hey! :slight_smile:

i have installed opensuse 11.1 64bit and kde 4.1.3. also i always
install every update from the kde4:stable repository, almost daily.

but now i have a serious problem with the screensaver. although i
disabled it, it starts after some idle minutes, no matter what i do.

in the ‘configure desktop’ dialog i disabled the screensaver and
kscreensaverrc shows the following entries:
[ScreenSaver]
Enabled=false
Lock=false
LockGrace=60000
Saver=KClock.desktop
Timeout=3600

so, everything should be fine, but the screensaver starts
nevertheless.

it would not be that annoying, if i didn’t have to enter the password
every time! it is really annoying!

anyone any idea!

thanks…

Do you have
“Require password to stop” disabled @
Configure Desktop > Desktop > Screensaver ?

of course!

that’s why the rc-file says
Lock=false

:wink:

but thanks anyway! :slight_smile:

Mmmh while disabling the ANNOYING behaviour of my laptop to logout when
I close the lid while it’s on netpower… I stumbled upon an option that
might be causing your problem.

Try going to
Configure Desktop Settings > Power management > Edit Profiles >
Performance profile (unless you’re using a different one ofcourse) >
When the system is idle for more than xx min. Set it to do nothing.

interesting…

that seems to solve the problem…

interesting, because i never ever opened that dialog before, and i
didn’t change any setting, because everything was set the way it should
be. i only hit the apply-button, just for the fun of it…

very strange…

but thanks! problem seems to be solved… :slight_smile:
