It's running on HP ProBook 4530s and I'm using the root user.

I've tried it in a standard user and it's working. However it doesn't work when root user is logged in.

User system_crash wrote in the forum, that the root user is blocked in the source code of "gnome-screensaver". that might be useful for a normal debian-user but for kali, where everybody works as root that's no acceptable. If I leave my pentest-laptop for some hours in the data-center to perform a scan, it has to be locked.

I've posted the solution on forum, hope it works fine for you too.

This looks like an easy fix and it's worth forking the Debian package to get it working.

I will fork it and fixed in on our end hopefully at some time today.

Thanks.

Patched in gnome-screensaver_3.4.1-1kali0. It should be in the repos soon.

Thanks.
