oops… left debug stmt in… ??

Sorry im not sure what you mean ?

sdetweil

@Miked180 sorry, I left some code in the script, which causes the error you encountered…

please rerun the script (please retry)

Miked180

ok now there was no error for use the command

sdetweil

@Miked180 and screen saver should now be off on your system

the log will say what it did

~/screensaver.log

This is in the log:

xscreensaver running
xscreensaver already disabled
disable screensaver via gsettings was true and uint32 300
install screensaver via lightdm.conf
disable screensaver via lxsession
xscreensaver running
xscreensaver already disabled
gsettings screen saver already disabled
screensaver via lightdm already disabled
lxsession screen saver already disabled
gsettings screen saver already disabled
screensaver via lightdm already disabled
lxsession screen saver already disabled
gsettings screen saver already disabled
screensaver via lightdm already disabled
lxsession screen saver already disabled

sdetweil

@Miked180 yeh, it adds to the log each time its run

gsettings screen saver already disabled
screensaver via lightdm already disabled
lxsession screen saver already disabled

as it has become more difficult to figure out which setting is actually in control
(some newer OS’s have gsettings capability, but different versions do or do not use it)…
so I report them all…
