Open `gedit`, copy the following and paste it into gedit, save it as `screensaver-autorun.sh` in a place where you’re not gonna move it. Then in the menu search for ‘Startup Applications’, click add, give it a name and in ‘Command’ click ‘Browse’ and select screensaver-autorun.sh.

That should do it

> So this is what I came up with: #!/bin/bash if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep gnome-screensaver \> /dev/null then echo "gnome-screensaver is not running" echo "starting gnome-screensaver ..." pkill -9 -f '/usr/bin/gjs /usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.ScreenSaver' sleep 3 gnome-screensaver else echo "gnome-screensaver already running" exit fi Adding it to startup applications seems to be sufficient to get everything running the way it should. Cheers for the help
