[X2Go-User] MATE screensaver is not activated when connected via x2go

[Jens Bürger]

Hello all,

I am working with a fresh X2Go install based on Debian 9.
I recently discovered that the MATE screensaver is not activated when connected through X2Go.
When I connect to the server locally, it works fine.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards, Jens

This is a known bug in mate and pretty hard to debug/fix apparently.

There is a workaround anyway, you can create a small script that starts xautolock at user session start like this :

#!/bin/bash
xautolock -time 5 -locker "mate-screensaver-command -l" -notifier "notify-send -t 20000 'Your session will be locked in 20 secondes' 'click here to cancel'" -notify 20 &



You'll need these packages (for Ubuntu) : xautolock, libnotify-bin

Regards,
Walid Moghrabi

With next nxagent release Walid's work-around is obsolete. The issue
has been addressed in nxagent upstream.
