Hi I am running Debian 11 Bullseye, LXQt version, and I'm having trouble with the screensaver called
XScreensaver
version 5.45.
* Basically what I would like to do is for the screen to completely shut off when I'm not using the computer for 10 minutes and for there to be a screen lock so when I or anyone else tries to go into the computer they need to type in my computer password.
* However currently when I'm using this screensaver it's going to a blank screen which is a black screen but it is still giving some brightness so if I'm sleeping I will see this brightness. I want my screen to completely turned off, but to have the computer and some apps like FTP program gftp
, transmission QT BitTorrent, or Firefox browser and of course the internet to be running.
* Also, when I'm watching a movie/video or playing music, the xscreensaver
activates and I have to put in my password every 10 minutes or so. Even if I change the settings temporarily and I put 720 minutes or something or even completely disable the screensaver, it still activates and I have to put in my password. I don't want the xscreensaver to activate at all when any audio or video application window is maximized. Only when the windows are minimized. I use VLC media player, Audacious, DeadBeef, and other audio and video players as well.
I'm a newbie at this operating system, so how would I do this? Thank you so much
