Can optionally lock your screen if pw set. System config at /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver is over ridden by home config. Mode 1 without a password= screen savers Mode 2 if password set allows screen, once locked, to open only with correct password. Please make changes at mode 1 first, so you have a home config. It is normal for the screen to fade to darkness. Before darkness you can click an input device to stop the process. 1) Mode 1 has no login password so no lock so you untick the lock box please. Run $ xscreensaver-demo Greyed out screensavers are either opengl ones which have not been compiled or glitchy screensavers I removed. Popup will ask to start daemon -> select Yes. Choose your preferences, file is saved to ~/.xscreensaver Click on preview to see effects. Click any kb key or mouse to stop demo. If after test you like it, autostart with echo 'xscreensaver -nosplash &' > ~/.X.d/xscreensaver (Above equals start the daemon) Optional, add that line to an existing ~/.X.d file -> $ exittc (or GUI) and exit to prompt and run $ startx Do not move mouse or kb clicks for the time you set to test. If you have also set rotation of screens, you then need to wait even longer for at least one rotation to occur. 2) Mode 2 -> After setting screensaver preferences, run $ sudo passwd tc to setup a password for local user. Consider persistence of your password by backing up /etc/shadow Do not move mouse or kb clicks for the time you set to test. Click mouse or kb -> password dialog box appears. 3) Faster mode 2 lock -> run the command $ lockx Some window managers have their own key combo files too Change-log: 2020/10/08 Original v 5.44 Current: 2020/10/08
