[SOLVED] xfce4-screensaver issues

I am having issues with the screensaver randomly coming on. I can be actively using the system, mouse movements and all, and the screensaver will activate. All it takes is more mouse movement for it to go away. If I uninstall xfce4-screensaver, then of course the problem goes away.

Here is a debug that I have captured. Unless, I am missing it, I don't see why it is activating. I kick the debug off, go to a browser tab that is causing the issue, screen saver comes on, then I get a GLib-GIO-Error, it crashes the process, then starts another process again. It will do this in a loop unless I go to a different browser tab.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Re: [SOLVED] xfce4-screensaver issues

Try XScreenSaver instead, it's same thing only comes with a lot more screen savers. Do sudo apt list xscreensaver* or sudo dnf list xscreensaver* for all available extras.

Re: [SOLVED] xfce4-screensaver issues

known issue: 16522, 16523 and 16529.

I found reverting xfce4-power-manager to the previous version will fix the problem for now assuming you want to keep xfce4-screensaver.

Re: [SOLVED] xfce4-screensaver issues

this issue seems to be completely resolved now with the latest versions of xfce4-screensaver and xfce4-power-manager if you wanted to revert back to them
