vlc won't inhibit screensaver as asked in preferences
Posted: 10 May 2010 14:03
Even if I check in the preferences that the vlc media player wouldn't be interrupted by the screensaver, when I am looking at a video without moving the mouse or touching the keyboard, the screensaver is activated after 5 min.
It is activated by default in VLC in setting tools > preferences > show settings: all > advanced > inhibit the power management deamon during playback.
My screensaver is controlled by the application System > Preferences > Screensaver. In Screensaver, the computer is regarded as idle after 5 min and the box "activate screensaver when computer is idle" is checked.
I expect the screensaver not to be activated when a video is playing back.
I run Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala, and have Compiz settings as well as Cairo-dock enabled
