Description Sam Varshavchik 2013-07-15 22:53:23 UTC

Description of problem:

After upgrading to F19, xscreensaver apparently fails to start automatically on the Gnome desktop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xscreensaver-5.21-9.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install xscreensaver
2. start xscreensaver via Gnome
3. xscreensaver starts, shows a dialog, informing you that xscreensaver is not running, and offers the option to start it. Choose the option to start it.
4. Set the mode to "Blank Screen Only". Set power management to turn the display off, after a few minutes.
5. After the requisite amount of time has elapsed, confirm that the monitor power has turned off.
6. Wake up the display, reboot
7. After rebooting, log in to the Gnome desktop.

Actual results:

1. xscreensaver is not running after logging back into Gnome, monitor will not be powered off after the requisite amount of inactivity has elapsed.
2. start xscreensaver via Gnome
3. xscreensaver starts, shows a dialog, informing you that xscreensaver is not running, and offers the option to start it.

Expected results:

1. xscreensaver should start automatically, after logging into Gnome.

Comment 1 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-07-16 00:17:59 UTC

Well,

* Would you show the output of
  $ rpm -qa | grep screensaver | sort
  ?
* What desktop environ are you using (Gnome classic or modern Gnome)?
* Would you show the output of
  $ ps auwwx | grep screensaver
  ?
* And would you attach ~/.xsession-errors ?

I don't see anything interesting in .xsession-errors. After a fresh login:

Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2013-07-16 02:51:04 UTC

Okay, so gnome-screensaver is installed.

By default, xscreensaver won't launch automatically if gnome-screensaver rpm is installed, to avoid the situation that both xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver launches.

* If you remove gnome-screensaver, then xscreensaver should again autostart (unless you have done some extra settings).
* If you want to keep gnome-screensaver installed, and want to use xscreensaver, then
  * make it sure that gnome-screensaver won't launch on your session
  * copy /etc/xdg/autostart/xscreensaver-autostart.desktop to ~/.config/autostart/ , with renaming to something line "xscreensaver-local.desktop".
  * Edit ~/.local/autostart/xscreensaver-local.desktop , so the line "Exec=/usr/libexec/xscreensaver-autostart" to "Exec=xscreensaver -nosplash"

Comment 4 Sam Varshavchik 2013-07-16 10:45:59 UTC

Yes, that seems to work.
