VM Screensaver off?

[darkblueb]

Can we disable the screensaver by default? When running as a Virtual Machine, and emulated OpenGL, it uses up a lot of cycles, and can be non-obvious...

Yes, if you can work out how to disable the screen saver, please go ahead and update install_desktop.sh

Removing xscreensaver does the trick: apt-get remove xscreensaver

[camerons]

Could someone please check the following line. If it works, then add it to setup.sh, after the line:

# Uninstall large applications installed by default apt-get remove --yes gnome-games-common \

gimp gimp-data gimp-help-common gimp-help-en libgimp2.0 \ thunderbird pidgin-data

[hamish]

do not touch existing lines at this point. add it on its own "apt-get --assume-yes remove" line if you like, but double check that doesn't try to uninstall half of gnome first.
