Lock screen when XScreenSaver was installed

Question

I'm another user who dislike the default screen-saver of Oneric. I installed XScreenSaver, but when I want to lock the screen, don't work using CTRL+ALT+L or from the user menu. Suggestions? Thanks.

Answer 1

If you want to manually lock the screen with the keyboard combination CTRL+ALT+L then you will need to run the following to repoint the old gnome-screensaver lock to xscreensaver

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command
