I am having issues with xprintidle reporting incorrect idle time. In looking at the code, the source of the issue is with the 'workaroundCreepyXServer' code. I am using ubuntu 18.04 and the workaround is no longer needed, so xprintidle reports incorrect time. I have removed the 'workaroundCreepyXServer' code locally and it works perfectly on my release. ( It has also been documented here by another user: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xprintidle/+bug/1669371 )

Hi all!
I am on a regular and updated Arch installation and using SafeEyes I hit this issue:
slgobinath/SafeEyes#375
running directly xprintidle from the command line I get:

$ xprintidle
screen saver extension not supported

It could be an issue of XScreenSaverQueryExtension from libXScrnSaver
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxscrnsaver

$ xprintidle --keyboard would show the number of milliseconds since the keyboard was last used.

Is there a way to reset the idle time to 0?

I know this isn't applicable to this program, but I've scoured the internet and haven't found an answer to this. You seem very familiar with the domain, so I hope it's not too much bother to ask what you may know about this. Really appreciate any help!

I was trying to install xprintidle on my CentOS 8.5 VM using the command sudo apt-get install xprintldle, but the CentOs uses the yum as default package manager not the apt-get so it is throwing the error "sudo: apt-get: command not found". I tried executing sudo yum install xprintidle that too didn't worked. So I followed the approach in the following site (`https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/33688/installing-git-sudo-apt-get-command-not-found). but that too didn't worked. Can anyone help me on installing the xprintidle on CentOS.

Add a parameter to specify the time format to output.

As some commandline arguments will be added we should provide a manpage.

Add some basic unit tests based on cmocka.

Add help and version text which are selectable by commandline arguments (getopts) -h|--help and -v|--version.

Hello,

This package doesnt seem to work when installed on ubuntu 21.04 running within VirtualBox (6.1.26).

Typing xprintidle into the terminal returns "screen saver extension not supported".

We should provide a sane CHANGELOG which may be following the spec of https://keepachangelog.com.

after running ./configure && make
this command:
gcc -g -O2 -o xprintidle xprintidle.o -L -lXext -lXss -lX11
produces this error message:

/usr/bin/ld: xprintidle.o: undefined reference to symbol 'DPMSInfo'

I edited the file Makefile.in
changed this
LDADD = -L@x_libraries@
into this
LDADD = @x_libraries@

and it worked ..
gcc -g -O2 -o xprintidle xprintidle.o -lXext -lXss -lX11
