What version of gnome-screensaver do you have installed? Also, check, when the screen goes blank, whether gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver is running. gnome-screensaver-0.0.9-2 # ps -fe|grep screen oracle 27091 1 0 11:45 ? 00:00:00 gnome-screensaver *** Bug 105780 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Something more required from my side? Thank you. Fabrizio (In reply to comment #3) > *** Bug 105780 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Stanislav: Generally for duplicate bugs, newly filed bugs will be considered as duplicate of old bugs. I'm wrong ? It doesn't really matter nags, usually the main bug is where ever you have to most information and best response from the reporter. The default screensaver settings are conflicted:
Desktop -> Gnome Control Panel
-> opens "Desktop Preferences" window
-> 4th row of icons labeled "System":
Network Proxies | Screensaver ("A") | Screensaver ("B") ...
Screensaver control "B" was set to blank the screen after 10 mins.
Screensaver control "A" was set to random screensavers after 10 mins.
I returned to an empty dark screen.
Moved my mouse but only a flickering pointer appeared.
The pointer disappeared when I stopped moving the mouse.
Tapping the "Alt" key did nothing.
Switched to a console, did a "ps ax | less" then closed my apps nicely,
Then killed gnome-screensaver and the desktop returned to normal.
I opened Screensaver control "B" and switched it from "Blank Screen" to "disabled".
Opened Screensaver control "A" and set my preference to random after 8 minutes.
No more blank screen with flickering mouse, just the desired random screensavers.
I'd recommend changing the installation defaults as an interim solution, but
maybe in the future these two controls can be made aware of each other so they
will cooperate?
My apologies for previously selecting "worksforme". My workaround does, in fact, work but the underlying problem still needs to be fixed. Again, sorry for the extra e-mails! OK, this *should* be my last attempt at restoring this bug's status. As this bug is still in Beta4, and actually nothing seems to have been done, I switched priority to Major. This is definitely a bug. Marcel: I verified with Beta 4 and it works fine for me. I made a fresh install (KDE-System), then installed Gnome. If I leave the workstation for approx 15 minutes, then the screensaver blocks the workstation. I can only see a flickering mouse cursor. Switching to console and kill the gnome-screensaver gives me X back. But this bug is still there. Maybe it's related to the screensaver(-module) started? Nevertheless I can reproduce this bug in beta4. Marcel: I just tried installing only GNOME. Maybe with the scenario, you have tried it could be reproducable. Rodrigo: ? Ican reproduce the bug too on beta4. Both GNOME and KDE are installed. gnome-screensaver is being used . This is fixed in gnome-screensaver 0.0.12, which has been submitted to autobuild. Please reopen if it still happens with that version Still happens with version 0.0.12, at least on the machines we have in the Solutions Lab at BrainShare. I can confirm this for RC1. Bug still resists. It was fixed in a rev to 0.0.12, we are retesting everything to make sure and will add test packages here shortly. If you want to work around you can switch to gdm as the login manager. (In reply to comment #18) > It was fixed in a rev to 0.0.12, I have tested with 0.0.12 (installed the RC2 package on RC1). I did not do a full RC2 install, so if I need to update something else, please say so. (I don't need a workaround for the BrainShare machines, we just disabled the screensaver.) Completely resolved now, see bug 105780 which also has the latest package. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105780 *** Wrong bug reference. Bug 114729 has the rest of the details and the updated rpm attached. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 114729 *** |
