Now, these are the settings from an older system, which I saved as a backup, for reference in times like these, when something doesn't work right. You ought to see something like this in a similar file for tdescreensaverrc, that is, in /home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/tdescreensaverrc, if that file actually existed. It could be that this has changed in the newer TDE releases. Since I don't use the TDE screensaver (much), I don't have this file, but my screensaver seems to work, anyway.
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.
