I am using Lubuntu and I can't find any GUI for screensaver settings. I am missing something ?
Lubuntu 13.10 .
What about this:
Menu>Preferences>Screensaver Preferences
Screensaver Preferences
under Menu>Preferences
in my LUbuntu 18.04...
Suggest you check in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh with your favorite text editor to see if it is launching xscreensaver.
If you can't launch xscreensaver, perhaps it was not installed; run apt-get install -y xscreensaver
To check your current xset
configuration, open the terminal and type this:
xset q
You'll then be shown what's set. You can see there these which are the ones you want to change:
$ xset q
...
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 600 cycle: 600
...
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
After you fallowed the instructions above, if again you type xset -q in the terminal, you'll see that now it has changed to:
$ xset q
...
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: no allow exposures: yes
timeout: 0 cycle: 600
...
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600
DPMS is Disabled
So now you can see that there's no blanking, no timeout and DPMS is disabled.
In the future if you want to turn them on again, just go to Menu/Control Menu/Settings/Default Applications for LXSession->Autostart and remove all the xset
commands you entered.
If during a session you want to turn on some of the settings that you disabled, just enter in the terminal the proper commands following.
xset s blank
xset s 600 600
xset +dpms
For more information you can type xset
on the terminal and press Enter>, you'll be shown all the available options.
