RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Using smartcard authentication, when computer is locked and dimmed (i.e. black screen) inserting smartcard does not automatically 'wake' the screen. I have to move the mouse or press a key to get it to wake up and go to pin prompt. 

If the lock shield is present, smart card insertion automatically removes the screen shield and brings me to pin prompt, which is how i think it should behave even when screen has turned off.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.8.4-32.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove smart card to lock screen
2. Wait until screen goes black
3. Insert smart card

Actual results:
Nothing happens.

Expected results:
Screen should wake up and bring me to pin prompt. 

Additional info:

Created attachment 1045899 [details]
unblank screen when inserting smartcard

This should fix it

I was expecting this fix in the 7.2 beta, but it's still the same old behaviour.

In 7.2 I cant even find the screenShield.js file. 

gnome-shell-3.14.4-26.el7.x86_64

Does it work for you following your workaround in bug 1260081 comment 14?  I think we're just getting bit by that bug.

No, the sharing plugin in gnome-settings-daemon is disabled but my screen is still blank when I insert the smartcard. I have to wake it with the mouse or keyboard.

This looks like a typo on my part. After writing and testing the patch locally, I added the patch to version control, but failed to apply it in the spec file.
