Closed rebelxt closed 5 years ago

rebelxt commented 5 years ago

Expected behaviour

Screensaver should activate after the idle timeout specified in Screensaver preferences.

Actual behaviour

Screensaver never activates

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Let computer sit idle fro the required time.

MATE general version

1.18.0

Package version

1.18.0-1+sonya

Linux Distribution

Linix Mint Mate 18.3

This apparently is also a concern in Mint Cinnamon 19.1: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=298662&hilit=screensaver

My problem turns out to be my Wacom tablet preventing the system from becoming idle. I also do not see the problem in Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1.
