Mageia forum

I am using Mageia 2 with the LXDE desktop environment and I noticed that xscreensaver is not enabled by default. Now I read that I am not the only one who noticed this. I usually don't install a distro with a DE (I do a minimal, CLI install and build from there) so I don't know if I should create .xinit to start the screensaver daemon. Thus, the question.

How can I make Xscreensaver daemon start when I log into my LXDE desktop?

I found it. I needed to edit a file.

Code: Select all

File: /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

3rd line in the example below.

Code: Select all

@lxpanel --profile LXDE
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@/usr/lib/notification-daemon
