Lock screen when XScreenSaver is installed [duplicate]
I'm another user who dislikes the default screen-saver of Oneric.
I installed XScreenSaver, but when I want to lock the screen, it doesn't work using CTRL+ALT+L , or using the option on the user menu.
How can I get the locking behavior to work properly?
Solution 1:
If you want to manually lock the screen with the keyboard combination CTRL+ALT+L then you will need to run the following to repoint the old gnome-screensaver lock to xscreensaver
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command
