    <Resolved> Mint 20.2 mate, screen saver not working...

    Ha, I spoke too soon, that fix did work...once via terminal, killall mate-screensaver then, mate-screensaver --display=:0 However editing the .desktop file with the same did NOT work, which I find not logical ?

    Well thanks to this thread my screensaver issue seems to be solved, adding the "--display=:0" bit did the trick. My hardware if anyone cares is Lenovo T450. PS I was going to try (if that didn't work) was the other suggestion on the github page, "Exec=mate-screensaver --class="Mate-screensaver"

    Please don't close it out. I'm having this same problem on new Mint 21 install, and hoping there will be a proper solution...soon. Not much info out there, that's how I found this thread. It's why I joined.

    FWIW, I have done a clean install of Mint 21 MATE, and screensaver is not working there either. Not the end of the world, but it is a shame...as it was a part of my Linux experience. Also it surprises me that there is not much information on the subject...yet anyway.
