When using VLC, why does my screen saver keep waking up?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite XScreenSaver uses DPMS to turn my laptop screen off. I'd like to find out why it's waking up to the prompt again. I enabled logging with log , but it shows nothing useful, xscreensaver: 22:04:21: logging to "/tmp/f" at Thu Apr 26 22:04:21 2018 That's all that's in the log. Checking /var/log/kern.log , I see xscreensaver: pam_ecryptfs: seteuid error How can I debug this issue, what are the likely causes of XScreenSaver waking my display up. I'm using xscreensaver 5.36. vlc screensaver xscreensaver dpms share | improve this question edited Apr 28 at 8:22 asked Apr 27 at 3:08 Evan Carroll 4,486 8 34 72 add a comment  | up vote 0 down vote favorite XScreenSaver uses DPMS to turn my laptop screen off.
