[X2Go-User] MATE screensaver is not activated when connected via x2go

[Walid MOGHRABI]

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

Objet: [X2Go-User] MATE screensaver is not activated when connected via x2go 

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
