Bugzilla – Bug 546062
Powersave turns screen black while watching a movie
Last modified: 2010-09-29 13:45:25 UTC
Powersave kicks in while watching a movie and turns the screen black (the reason why it doesn't get turned off might be related to Bug 546044). It doesn't matter if the movie is played in a window or fullscreen. The used player is smplayer from Packman. KDE is KDE4 from KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop up to date and smplayer version is smplayer-0.6.8-0.pm.2.47.x86_64.
Still happens on 11.2 final with current KDE from K:K:F:D
X.Org bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25855 . I don't know how many other apps may be affected, but the patch provided there should be pretty safe (you can take it from home:llunak:branches:openSUSE:11.2:xorg-x11-server if you want). Additionally there is an MPlayer bug that it has -stop-xscreensaver disabled by default. "stop-xscreensaver=1" or as a workaround for now "heartbeat-cmd='qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver SimulateUserActivity'" in ~/.mplayer/config should avoid that.
Upstream.
Can we please get an update for this? 11.2 is still supported for much more than a year and that thing is highly annoying for everyone who is trying to watching a movie. Lubos fixed is months ago and his patch seems to work while doing no harm. So please be so kind to ship that patch as an update. I am perfectly happy to play the guinea pig for it although several other ppl already reported it working with no side effects iirc so it should be pretty safe.
Ok. So you would like to request a maintenance update according to our Maintenance process on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Maintenance and drive that process, i.e. patch the package, provide patchinfo, etc.? Then please go ahead.
Please tell me what I have to provide for "patchinfo". The rest is fine to me.
Reassigning to you (Stefan) so it shows up on your list since the needinfo apparently doesn't work (at least it is still shown as fixed). Feel free to reassign it to me once you explained me what info is needed for some proper "patchinfo".
Everything to be done is explained on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Maintenance. Please note that openSUSE is a community project, i.e. if you won't do the maintenance update it won't happen. It's that easy.
Yeah well, I am perfectly happy to provide what is needed but it just was beyond me what exactly some "patchinfo" would be.
the maintenance team does the patchinfo if you cant ... but first request an update via NEEDINFO maintenance@opensuse.org (step 1) i would be for an update. +1
The SWAMPID for this issue is 35783. This issue was rated as low. Please submit fixed packages until 2010-10-12. Also create a patchinfo file using this link: https://swamp.suse.de/webswamp/wf/35783
+1, update started. Be so kind and submit the fixed sources against Project openSUSE:11.2:Update:Test If you can also submit a patchinfo (contains the information about the update), feel free to submit one, otherwise we will do it for you.
Thanks for the explanations, I _think_ I got it right. SR 48386 & 48387
For the next time, be so kind and use a useful changelog entry. "Fix bnc #546062" is not very useful for users and developers. There is another problem.
