This is a known bug in mate and pretty hard to debug/fix apparently.
There is a workaround anyway, you can create a small script that starts xautolock at user session start like this :
#!/bin/bash xautolock -time 5 -locker "mate-screensaver-command -l" -notifier "notify-send -t 20000 'Your session will be locked in 20 secondes' 'click here to cancel'" -notify 20 &
You'll need these packages (for Ubuntu) : xautolock, libnotify-bin

Hello all,
I am working with a fresh X2Go install based on Debian 9. I recently discovered that the MATE screensaver is not activated when connected through X2Go. When I connect to the server locally, it works fine.
Any suggestions?
Kind regards, Jens
