Bug Description

Binary package hint: mythtv

It appears that mythfrontend does not function properly with xscreensaver, only gnome-screensaver. It should be made to adapt to either screensaver daemon for compatibility with xubuntu and other lightweight derivatives.

The issue is likely with the 04_gnomescreensaver.dpatch referred to here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/

There are reasons not to use gnome-screensaver, even in gnome. One reason I found is that when using nvidia-settings to adjust the color, gamma, etc., those settings are often lost when gnome-screensaver goes active.

Thanks for all you hard work... the ubuntu packages for mythtv have made my
life sooooooo much easier in the last few months!

Just curious, when you say that your waiting for the fix upstream, does that
mean that the bug has been reported to the mythtv developers already? Or do
I need to do this?

Thanks again,

Joe

Is there a workaround for this in the mean time? I'm guessing disable the screensaver or set it to 90 mins idle time or something
