Description Brent Selch 2005-09-30 16:33:41 UTC 
gnome screensaver starts, but does not fully activate (Blanks screen, but does
not execute any screensaver when configured to do so). when run in a
gnome-terminal, the following happens:

sh-3.00$ gnome-screensaver
** Message: set DPMS timeouts: 0 0 0.
** Message: set DPMS timeouts: 7200 7200 14400.
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server

Comment 1 Marcus Meissner 2005-09-30 17:06:11 UTC 
does "xlsclients" work ?
Comment 2 Rodrigo Moya 2005-09-30 17:39:56 UTC 
Are you using kdm? Does this happen if you upgrade gnome-screensaver to the
latest (0.0.13)?
Comment 3 Brent Selch 2005-10-04 13:37:50 UTC 
I'm using kdm, logging into a gnome session. xlsclients lists gnome-screensaver,
but gnome-screensaver-command --query states that it's not running. Also, I'm
running the latest gnome-screensaver that I have access to (0.0.11-3) - 0.0.13
isn't available to RC1 (it's not listed in YOU).
Comment 4 Rodrigo Moya 2005-10-04 14:39:47 UTC 
This is fixed in latest gnome-screensaver, so you'll have to update from RC1 to
have it fixed. Reopen if it still happens after updating.

About the gnome-screensaver-command --query output, what does it show exactly?
Comment 5 Brent Selch 2005-10-04 14:50:07 UTC 
where is the latest gnome-screensaver, if not in YOU?

sh-3.00$ gnome-screensaver-command --query
** Message: Screensaver is not running!
sh-3.00$ ps axf | grep gnome-screensaver
 6206 ?        S      0:00 gnome-screensaver
 6311 pts/0    S+     0:00     \_ grep gnome-screensaver
Comment 6 Rodrigo Moya 2005-10-05 13:58:41 UTC 
It is in RC4, gnome-screensaver-0.0.13-2
Comment 7 Brent Selch 2005-10-05 17:03:27 UTC 
How can I get access to RC4? Why isn't it publicly available?
Comment 8 Rodrigo Moya 2005-10-05 18:01:38 UTC 
It's on opensuse.org
Comment 9 Brent Selch 2005-10-05 18:20:44 UTC 
No, 10.0 RC1 and 10.1 Alpha 1 are available, according to
http://www.opensuse.org/Download. Is there somewhere else with newer releases?
Comment 10 Rodrigo Moya 2005-10-05 18:28:40 UTC 
Alpha 1 is newer than RC4
Comment 11 Brent Selch 2005-10-05 18:31:56 UTC 
But Alpha 1 is 10.1 - I was filing a bug against 10.0 - when 10.0 is released,
what version will it contain? are you saying that 10.0 final will include 10.1
code? if so , what is the differentiation betweeen the two?
Comment 12 Rodrigo Moya 2005-10-05 18:47:56 UTC 
yeah, sorry, you don't want alpha 1. You want RC4, but I don't know where is
that available :(
Comment 13 JP Rosevear 2005-10-10 15:49:15 UTC 
It should be up now.
