[SOLVED] How to start screen saver from konsole without locking?

[iX]

This command starts screen saver, but also lock the screen:

"qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver SetActive true"

Is there any way starting screen saver and DONT locking?

[iX]

OK, it is probably "normaly not possible".

But now, I am on half past way:

I can simply run: /usr/bin/kblankscrn.kss

This runs desired screensaver in a window.

One last thing missing:

How to make it full screen ?


(BTW: I don't need to close it by mouse move or by key pressed, I will manage this by script.)

Have you tried forcing it to run in the root XWindow?

/usr/bin/kblankscrn.kss --root

By the way, this is one of the rare cases where 'root' does not mean 'superuser'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_window

Another option could be (depending on what your goal is) to turn off the monitor instead of running a screensaver, for example:

xset dpms force off

(see "man xset" for details and options)

To Kubicle :

Thanks for suggestion, this works. But I need to have monitor ON, just blank...


To HalationEffect :

Don't work. But I finally found an easy way: In KDE settings -> Look & Window behavior -> Window behavior -> Window rules -> Settings for kblankscrn.kss I set two rules: force width & height and force full screen.
This works.
