Ethan BlackThe #XScreensaverCollection was a really nice way to stimulate my creativity when I was younger.
root42Ok, a little bit of debugging and verbose xscreensaver brought me to the suspicion that the cvlc command itself is at fault: it inhibits xscreensaver, immediately unlocking the screen again, doing so regularly. I need a command line option for cvlc to ALLOW the screensaver. No inhibit needed. Question: IS there an option to allow screensavers in cvlc??

I installed it, got #xscreensaver somehow integrated into Cinnamon, disabled the built in "screensaver", which does only blanking. But I notice that xscreensaver does not activate. Manually locking the screen reveals why: It seems the laptop generates lots of spurious input events at random intervals. Why??? And why does the original Cinnamon screensaver work fine? Can I use xev to listen for those events? And can I make xscreensaver ignore those? I doubt they are useful events.
Wow, this is legitimately cool:

seanpm2001 🇺🇦️🇬🇱I am now onto my 3rd screensaver on XScreensaver. I started out with Scooter, but eventually got tired of it, and moved to Abstractile for about a month, until yesterday, when I switched to BinaryRing. All 3 of them are pretty cool screensavers. I am able to get screenshots while in screensaver mode, which is how I got these 3 images. As long as I don't move the mouse or click anything, the screensaver will remain active. I also softlocked myself today by accident, double clicking the screensaver option, then the screensaver literally would not go away (I could still use programs by keyboard shortcut only, but couldn't see what they were doing) and I had to hard power cycle my system to fix it. (The Scooter screenshot I took isn't very good, it looks much better when animated)

Does anyone know how to install all of the #screensavers in xscreensavers?
My Ubuntu 22.04 laptop is starting to have severe screen burn-in, so I installed xscreensaver tonight. Only about 20 of the default screensavers are installed, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the rest to activate.
I did something risky, and briefly ran Nautilus as root (I made sure to escape my sudo session quickly) and copied all of the XML files from the latest version directly to the usr/share data path, with the rest of the XML files. However, this appears to do nothing, as it is missing binary data.
