Locked screen message "This version of XScreenSaver is very old! Please upgrade!"

[Max Andersen]

Hi everyone,

Qubes 3.2 displays the message "This version of XScreenSaver is very
old! Please upgrade!", when the screen is locked with Xscreensaver 5.36

I haven't seen an update to Dom0 when running sudo qubes-dom0-update, so
is this just annoying or an actual issue?

Sincerely

Max

It's just a reflection of the fact that dom0 is still using fedora 23,
which is long past eol. SO no updates for the screensaver.
Is it an issue?
I don't think there have been advisories since 34, so 5.36 should be fine.

[Max Andersen]

Didn't think so either, but why did I get the message in the first
place? Does it check for newer versions or is it just a timer ?

Sincerely
Max

[Unman]

Just a timer.
