Screen Saver doesn't start

English Applications
#1

Ok, guys, newbie here. I have 11.2, KDE… I was toying with widgets and figuring them out when all off a sudden my Euphoria Screen Saver will not start anymore after the set time to start (don’t ask what all I did, I was messing with several widget things on the desktop before I noticed, later, the screensaver never came on) …

I have verified the following:
Go to Application Launcher / Applications / Configure Desktop (personal settings)

Select Desktop option in look and feel section

Select Screen Saver option in left nav

Result > I have tested and it works fine when I click test, Start Automatically is enabled (5 min). I have set to 1 min to test but still no luck, i know something is inhibiting this from running but don’t know where to look or how to fix and couldn’t find a thread regarding this issue.

I have tried changing options and setting back to see if that worked but to no prevail. Can someone please educate this padawan ;). If you need me to go to a specific location, PLEASE BE DETAILED and give the steps to get there. it is probably something simple but I’m still learning Suse Linux… Thanks in advance…

Ok, I think I figured it out… when I changed the desktop setting by…

  • right clicking wallpaper
  • select ‘Folder View Settings’, Appearance is selected by default in left nav
  • In Desktop Activity section I selected something other than the ‘Desktop’ TYPE default option.
    So that fixed that… (told you I was doing a lot of different things :)…

but I want the Folder View and keep the screen saver…

Any ideas on how to do this? again, thanks in advance…
