    How to deactivate screensaver from terminal

    Hello,

    I have an old Thinkpad on which I have installed Xubuntu 10.04. Unfortunately:

    - the screensaver locks the machine so that even Alt-SysRQ-b does not work
    - when I click on Applications -> Settings -> Screensaver, the system goes back to the login screen.

    I would like simply to deactivate the screensaver. How is it done? In Ubuntu I'd use the gconf-editor, I think, but what about Xubuntu?

    Best regards,

    L.

    Heh,

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove xscreensaver
    seems to have done the trick.
