I would try creating a config file here, see what happens. Good luck!
Hi William and everyone else,
Thanks for this. I checked the TDE Help Center articles on the TDE Screensaver and it says this should be in ~/.trinity/share/config/kdesktoprc. Indeed there is a table for [ScreenSaver]. My settings appear almost identical to yours minus some thing like the "LegacySaverEnabled" and "PlasmaEnabled" options, but I've got the following:
[ScreenSaver] DelaySaverStart=false Enabled=true HideActiveWindowsFromSaver=true HideCancelButton=false Lock=false LockGrace=60000 Saver=KSpace.desktop Timeout=480 UseTDESAK=true UseUnmanagedLockWindows=false
With these my screensaver does not work at all. I also have Xscreensaver installed, but I think it was installed along with tdeartwork.
Thanks.
Seems to me that there must be some other application that blocks it from starting. Just a guess, but aside from what I already said, I don't have a clue. I would look first at your powersaving settings. Media players, etc., for example, ought not to block the screensaver except temporarily, that is, while you are actually using them.
Bill
