Description of problem: Running an CentOS 7 server, acting as an x2go server, with the MATE desktop environment. Everything is working fine, except that the screensaver is never triggered. When called manually, it's working: mate-screensaver-command -a or mate-screensaver-command -l But no matter the inactivity timeout set, it won't start by itself. When running this setup with thin-clients, it's a security issue (as there's no local screensaver to fire) It looks like the issue is somewhere in mate-session (maybe inactivity timer isn't even fired as it's detected as a remote session ?), but my C-foo is too limited for me to track this further Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [fws@tux ~]$ rpm -qa x2go\* mate\* | sort mate-applets-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-backgrounds-1.12.0-1.el7.noarch mate-calc-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-control-center-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-control-center-filesystem-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-desktop-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-desktop-libs-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-dictionary-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-disk-usage-analyzer-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-icon-theme-1.12.0-1.el7.noarch mate-media-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-menus-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-menus-libs-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-menus-preferences-category-menu-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-netspeed-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-notification-daemon-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-panel-1.12.2-1.el7.x86_64 mate-panel-libs-1.12.2-1.el7.x86_64 mate-polkit-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-power-manager-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-screensaver-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-screenshot-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-search-tool-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-session-manager-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-settings-daemon-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-system-log-1.12.0-1.el7.x86_64 mate-system-monitor-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-terminal-1.12.1-1.el7.x86_64 mate-themes-3.14.0-1.el7.noarch mate-user-guide-1.12.0-1.el7.noarch mate-utils-common-1.12.0-1.el7.noarch x2goagent-3.5.0.32-3.el7.x86_64 x2goserver-4.0.1.19-6.el7.x86_64 x2goserver-printing-4.0.1.19-6.el7.x86_64 x2goserver-xsession-4.0.1.19-6.el7.x86_64 [fws@tux ~]$ How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install x2goserver and the mate desktop environment 2. Configure the screensaver Actual results: Screensaver is never launched Expected results: Screensaver should be fired automatically when inactivity is detected
I can't reproduce this on my systems but i don't use a x2goserver. Can you please file out a report at upstream, maybe there is someone who use a x2goserver. https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-screensaver/issues
Mate-1.12 is EOL.
