Hi, I am at a loss to understand why xscreensaver does not work anymore.
I am on bullseye. I have two systems the other, however, works fine and locks. xscreensaver does not seem to have any debug facility from what I could read from the man pages. My config is attached. xscreensaver never gets activated although the daemon is running in the background. xscreensaver binary itself is installed as setuid-root. Please help ! thanks. PS: I tried to compile from source so that I can introduce debugs. This went in vain since there are too many dependencies and I was not successful in compiling. -- Bhasker C V Secure Mails: http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D05FEEC54E47413 Registered Linux User: #306349
