I did some testing a while back. And it was very frustrating. The screensaver functionality I definitely consider as one area for possible improvements, especially with people new to Linux on my mind: configuration in one place and something like that (turn it off) working without fancy steps.For the time being I have settled with using an additional program to turn off screensaver when I don't need/want it.program name: caffeineinstallation:Code: [Select]sudo apt-add-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppasudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install caffeineIf you run it as installed, it won't show up in the notification area where I prefer to have it and toggle it manually. And it will be added to the startup applications. Latter can be deactivated (menu: -> Settings -> Session and Startup) and former can be achieved by dong this:* richt click on menu and choose: Edit Applications* select Caffeine under Accessories and click: Properties* change the command to:Code: [Select]/usr/bin/caffeine-indicatorHope that helps
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppasudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install caffeine
/usr/bin/caffeine-indicator
Have you gone tomenu -. settings -> screensaver and change the time length? You can enter some ridiculously high time.Sheng-Chieh
