This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. this still seems to be happening as of f16-gnome-rc2 gnome-screensaver-3.2.0-1.fc16 (64bit) the severity on this should be at least 'high'. I need to retest this. I know that I have Totem Player active sometimes and that program sends ALT keypresses to the X Server to keep the screensaver from activating (the visualization software must be running though.. I think. See also bug#571179). In one phrase: I need to check whether the problem occurs if Totem Player is off. a clump of similar bugs for duplicates consideration: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677345 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682132 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713640 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714784 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748560 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=761074 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697199 still seems to randomly occur on up to date fc16 however havent noticed it on fc17alpha so far :') (In reply to comment #5) > still seems to randomly occur on up to date fc16 > however havent noticed it on fc17alpha so far :') Yep, I still get this on f16 on my desktop, but not my laptop. Haven't been able to figure out why this happens, or if there is some kind of log message that would be written when it is about to engage the screensaver so I could debug it. (nothing in /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log) Updating version. rats. correction to comment#5, this just happened with a fully updated fc17-alpha :'( (updates/updates-testing repos) currently running gnome-screensaver-3.3.92-1.fc17.x86_64 hmm maybe unrealted but i didnt notice it happeneing until after gnome-settings-daemon-3.3.92-1.fc17.x86_64 update came through in last few days (which ironically seemed to fix unrelated bug#784532 disppearing brightness slider lol) What's the best way to debug this? I don't know where the screensaver records lock screen attempts. I looked in /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but nothing there. To partly answer my question I noticed the "--debug" option to gnome-screensaver: $ gnome-screensaver --debug Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" [gs_debug_init] gs-debug.c:106 (18:49:29): Debugging enabled [main] gnome-screensaver.c:86 (18:49:29): initializing gnome-screensaver 3.2.0 [init_session_id] gs-listener-dbus.c:1287 (18:49:29): Got session-id: /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 [gs_fade_init] gs-fade.c:884 (18:49:29): Fade type: 3 [set_status] gs-watcher-x11.c:347 (18:49:29): GSWatcher: not active, ignoring status changes [gs_manager_set_lock_enabled] gs-manager.c:162 (18:49:29): GSManager: lock-enabled=1 [gs_watcher_set_active] gs-watcher-x11.c:277 (18:49:29): turning watcher: ON ** (gnome-screensaver:9737): WARNING **: screensaver already running in this session I note this line: "GSWatcher: not active, ignoring status changes" does this suggest that for some reason it's ignoring the requests that would normally activate the screensaver when idle? This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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. |
