Description

Acer TravelMate 6292, Intel GM965, same issues. It appears that the unlock dialog gets confused if the screen geometry changes while it's active. This is a regression from 2.26. kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.4-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.9.1-1.fc12.x86_64 gnome-screensaver-2.28.0-8.fc12.x86_64 Steps to reproduce same as above. Actual results: Password/unlock dialog on LVDS screen, no pointer visible, no keyboard focus for dialog, can not type or otherwise interact with the dialog. Expected results: Dialog interactive. Workaround: Wait 60 seconds for dialog to time out and screensaver to reactivate, then touch the mouse or keyboard for dialog to reappear -- this time it works. Created attachment 389024 [details]
gnome-screensaver debug messages
With the below versions I started gnome-screensaver in debug before suspending. After resume I killed it which can be seen by the 'Terminated' message in the log.
gnome-screensaver-2.28.0-8.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.4-6.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.9.1-1.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32.7-37.fc12.x86_64
I updated to gnome-screensaver-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_6 but it has not made a difference. I can also confirm Osma's workaround. Wait for gnome-screensaver to time-out and hide the unlock dialog. Then pressing a key and this time it does work. The new gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-1.fc12.x86_64 again makes no difference. I even tried if perhaps pressing alt-f2 and typing "pkill -f gnome-screensaver" would get me past the screensaver, in which case it would have been another security exploit as in CVE-2010-0422, #564464 but that does not seem to be the case. Fact remains that gnome-screensaver looses input focus when suspending, attaching an external display and then resuming. ok, that should obviously have read gnome-screensaver-2.28.3-1.fc12.x86_64, not gnome-power-manager. I tried F13alpha, and the issue is resolved there. It would be nice if whatever fixed the issue could be backported to F12, but I probably won't care any more in 2 months time when F13 is out. Although I was not able in a quick test to reproduce it with F13 Alpha, the current final build of F13 has the same problem as before. gnome-screensaver-2.30.0-1.fc13.x86_64 kernel-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-4.fc13.x86_64 This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I have not seen this for some time on up-to-date F13 installation. I no longer have the 945GM equipped ThinkPad. And on my new ThinkPad with latest generation Intel video, I have not seen this issue with either F13 or F14. Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
