Description Heiko Adams 2012-04-15 00:02:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
After upgrading my fedora 16 box to fedora 17 xscreensaver-demo seems to not work anymore. When launching the screensaver preferences from xfce menu nothing happens. Launching xscreensaver-demo --settings or xscreensaver-demo --prefs also has no effect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xscreensaver-5.15-5.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
allways

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a terminal
2. call xscreensaver-demo --settings or xscreensaver-demo --prefs
  
Actual results:
nothing happens. Neither an error message is raised nor the configuration window opens 

Expected results:
Configuration window should open or an error message should be raised if something went wrong

What does strace say?
Comment 2 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-04-15 04:03:37 UTC 
Also would you attach the result of

$ rpm -qa | grep screensaver

and the file ~/.xscreensaver ?
Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-04-15 06:39:06 UTC 
Kevin, do you see this issue?
Comment 4 Heiko Adams 2012-04-15 10:09:33 UTC

Comment 6 Heiko Adams 2012-04-15 10:11:25 UTC 
The fun-fact is that I didn't change anything since upgrading to fedora 17 beta and xscreensaver worked fine on fedora 16
Comment 7 Heiko Adams 2012-04-15 10:33:01 UTC 
Strange thing: after starting my machine today xscreensaver-demo works again :-/
Comment 8 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-04-15 10:36:12 UTC 
Okay, thank you for reporting anyway. If you see this issue again please let me know it.
Comment 9 Mamoru TASAKA 2012-04-16 02:07:44 UTC 
Okay, actually I saw this on Z800 x86_64 box. strace shows that sync(2) is hanging, so I highly suspect this is the side effect of bug 812588.

Once marking as a dup of bug 812588.
