| Dec 10, 2015 at 20:59 | comment | added | Steve | Just upgraded to OS X 10.11.2 and my screen saver hot corner broke again. I found another AFS remnant - a pref pane - which I used to disable AFS entirely. Then I removed the pref pane and restarted. Now the screen saver hot corner works. Again I used syslog, but the error did not coincide with any attempt to start the screen saver, it was a timed event. What I'm saying is to not necessarily expect an obvious error, but to scan the log for unusual third party activities. | |

| Oct 5, 2015 at 21:05 | comment | added | Steve | Oh, someone is listening! I watched /var/log/syslog and saw this: Oct 5 14:09:54 dragonfly AFSBackgrounder[892]: Task failed. That gave me the clue, as home machine did not suffer broken screen saver as did my work machine, and only work machine had AFS. So check syslog when you try to activate the hot corner and see if anything interesting pops up. | |
