Re: cinnamon-screensaver does not activate
Well, I spoke too soon... Still have an issue: instead of getting my screensaver activated after xx minutes, I get my desktop wallpaper with a clock on the left side. Not my fancy-shmancy matrix code screensaver :( Interestingly enough I have two Screensaver icons in the main menu: [*] cinnamon-scre...

Re: cinnamon-screensaver does not activate
Well... Even though I got the screensaver app to start and selected my preferred screensaver,
it will NOT launch. Meaning - after set xx minutes the screen just changes to my background with a clock,
NOT displaying the screensaver...
Anyone w/ input on that?

Re: cinnamon-screensaver does not activate
I found that I could go into Synaptic Package Manager and install 'xscreensaver' which is almost the exact functionality that used to be in Ubuntu/Mint, then set your timings and whether to lock the screen in Menu>Preferences>Screensaver. Hope this is helpful Oh you will need xscreensaver-data-extr...

Well, I've read and read and read (mostly http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html and whatever Google pulled) to the point where my head and eyes hurt... Tried whatever combos with "own_window" and its "subdirectives" and nothing worked... So far, "double_buffer yes" stop...

Dolphin in MATE; how to make it handle the desktop?
Old thread, but I have a relevant question....
LM 15, MATE; I am using dolphin, to me it rocks compared to the caja joke.
Q: any way to make when I open a folder ON THE DESKTOP, that it opens with dolphin instead of caja?

P.P.S. It WORKS on MATE. Finally, I had the wrong version - downloaded development 0. 6 from the wallpapoz github: https://github.com/vajrasky/wallpapoz/archive/master.zip No install needed, you have to run two files ONLY standalone - they are in /src: the wallpapoz file where you add your wallpaper...

P.S. wallpapoz 0.5 WORKS on LM 15 64bit MATE. I can pop a screenshot if need be. HOWEVER: 1) the STANDALONE works; install WILL NOT WORK. I.e. you have to launch the standalone program from the /src folder you downloaded the program in - Install WILL crash wanting Gnome Example: python /whatever_fol...
