A Large Wine Company in Upstate NY is considering leveraging EScreenz, A software application that allows companies to deliver messages to all employees and workforce via idle computers screensavers. The administrative back end allows for the uploading of slides and content that is broadcast to all networked PCs through the screen-saver. This application was first adopted by

Hello all. The best screensaver of all time in my opinion is E-volved cultures, available here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~notnot/E-volverLUMC/screensaver.html Not only are the images it creates highly aesthetic, but they can seamlessly tile, so they are perfect for many applications. My current desktop was generated by this screensaver. I've tried everything though and it won't show up. I

Hi, I tried some windows screensavers with Wine. Most screensavers start with the configuration screen without a possibility to start the main screensaver part. It's the same thing when I rename a screensaver file from 'somewhat.scr' to 'somewhat.exe' and try to run it with a doubleclick on my Windows 2000 PC. (*.scr: the screensaver starts, *.exe: the configuration screen

I've built some CentOS 5.5 64-bit systems straight off the DVD, full installs, and the Gnome screen lock (manually invoked or automatically via the gnome-screensaver) does not allow the user to unlock the screen. The only fix appears to be ctrl-alt-F<1 - 5> then have the user log into the tty session, type pkill -f gnome-screensaver, log out, then ctrl-alt-f7 to return to X. These

I'm at the stage of poking at a C7 install in Vbox, and am struggling to figure out how to control the screensaver. there doesn't seem to be a gnome screensaver package (like there was in gnome2), and I can't find any installed packages that control it. gconf-editor doesn't have anything that looks promising... how does one control the screensaver in Gnome 3? thanks! -- ----

Hi List, Currently running a couple of CentOS 6.3 workstations / laptops with gnome as the default window manager. Since the original 6.1 install the behaviour of the screensaver has changed. I use the cosmos theme and have this activate after five minutes of idle. Initially, when the five minutes were up, the screen would start to dim and if one moved the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard it

Ok here is a real geek question, I building my own linux kernel for my asterisk system and came across the kernel setting for the timer frequency. I have one of 3 hardcode choices 100Hz, 250 Hz and 1000Hz. From what I understand the default Freq was changed from 100Hz in kernel 2.4 to 1000Hz (1KHz) in kernel 2.6. Timing is a BIG issue in asterisk with all the TDM and zap channel stuff.

People "usually" suspend their laptop, so that they can continue their work when they open the laptop. OK! Two choices [GNOME]: 1 - Menu -&gt; Shut Down -&gt; Suspend in this case, the gnome-screensaver locks the PC. but the gnome-screensaver is just a "normal process", and it could be killed e.g.:

The nVidia driver is running right, but now when I try to select some screensavers, like Anemotaxis, X restarts. /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old show it aborting on a signal 11... These 3 (now wrapped) lines show up in the system log...

Hi I installed samba 2.2.0 as PDC on a Pc running Debian 2.2rev2, kernel 2.4.3. One of the winnt user reports this error: sometimes it happens to him to leave his PC and after a while the screensaver starts running. when he comes back to work on the PC he is not anymore able to use Pc resources, he had to reset and restart the computer. He told me he did not have this problem before of being part

The KDE screen savers will only blank out the screen though most of them test ok when you hit the test button in the Control Center. The Gnome screen savers work ok. My system has a Radeon 9200SE video card and I have a ViewSonic A70f monitor. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Is there a way to persuade Wine to run a windows screensaver? (Assuming it is installed under Wine)? -- If you wrestle in the mud with a pig. you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. -- Dave Dawson

Around last weekend, the updated package, gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-8.el5_5.1, came in replacing gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-8.el5. Once our CentOS 5.5 machines are running the new gnome-screensaver, we start seeing problem in unlocking the Gnome screensaver with Kerberos authentication. Unlocking the screensaver with local password works fine. After we back out from the new version, Kerberos

Strange thing just began happening this past weekend with my Centos-7 netbook (using the MATE desktop, which may mean it's an EPEL problem...). the lock screen checkbox in the screensaver's UI is NOT checked. I've even used the dconf editor to uncheck ALL the boxes in the screensaver section that relate to locking the screen. nada. no such luck. even after rebooting, it still locks

When I open the screensaver windows in the kde, I find that it is blocked . I switch to the gnome, it is the same.

Hello All, I'm trying to set defaults for gnome-screensaver on some Centos6.5 laptops and lock it down with these commands: # gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type boolean --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled true # gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type boolean --set

Hello All, these days one of my tasks is connecting some Centos7 laptops to Freeipa, also running on Centos7. After doing that, some users report nog being able to unlock their screens. Only after reboot are they able to login again.

Hi all! I keep having problems with screensaver(s) on Centos-7. I have in the past liked Xscreensaver, so I've installed it and tried to suppress whatever other screensaver is on the system. Xscreensaver works fine for a day or 20 then quits working. After a lengthy battle I gave up and removed it. I'm now trying mate-screensaver, which does the same thing! when I say "quits
