[Solved] Screensaver doesn't launch after browser reset
Posted: 13 Nov 2015, 15:48
I'm completely new to Porteus Kiosk, so I'd be especially thankful for any assistance/advice provided.
I'm finding if I enable automatic browser reset, the screensaver will never launch if there's no activity - mouse click, keystroke, etc. In other words, once the browser reset happens, some kind of action (like a mouse click) has to happen before the screensaver's own inactivity clock kicks in.
As an example, if I set the screensaver to launch after 3 minutes of inactivity and set the automatic browser reset to launch after 5 minutes of inactivity, the following happens. After 3 minutes of no activity, the screensaver kicks in as it should. After another 2 minutes of inactivity, the browser resets itself. The screensaver quits and I'm back to the homepage. After another 3 minutes of inactivity, the screensaver does NOT kick in. Alternatively, if I do a mouse click immediately after the browser resets itself, the screensaver WILL kick in after 3 minutes.
I hope my description makes sense to you all. If not, I'd be happy to try to clarify. Ideally, I think the browser reset should happen without closing the screensaver, if that would be possible.
