Xscreensaver doesn't have a systemd unit, and it certainly shouldn't be run as root. It has an XDG autostart configuration here: /etc/xdg/autostart/xscreensaver-autostart.desktop ... so if you're using a desktop environment that supports XDG, it should automatically start. If not, then you need to add something to you login startup script to launch it (as your userid) as part of the graphical login. (how you do that depends on what graphical environment you use) In a modern GNOME environment, you don't use Xscreensaver, so there's no point in it launching. It doesn't support Wayland, (nor does the author seem interested in doing so). In GNOME, GDM does the screen locking, not the user session. -- Jonathan Billings <billings@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
