Description Steven Stern 2011-06-24 13:22:37 UTC

Most of the time, when the Gnome 3 shell blanks the screen after the 10 minute delay, I can get back in by wiggling the mouse a bit.  Almost every morning, however, all wiggling the mouse does is show the top bar (with the time showing the time that the screensaver kicked in the prior night).  Hitting the keyboard or mouse clicking does not fully wake the shell or allow me to continue access to the session.

At that point, I use CTRL-ALT-F2 to login on a virtual terminal and kill the gnome shell process.  Then, I ALT-F1 to get back to the GUI, where the shell recreates itself.

This happens whether the shell is set to require a password or not when blanking the screen.

if you have a wireless network device then this sounds like a dup of bug 705609.  there's a fix coming for that - it's in updates-testing at the moment, see the latest comments in that bug for details.

Testing with the updated shell.  I'll know in the morning if it does the trick.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:46:33 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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" (top right of this page) 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:
