xautolock doesn't work
Last modified: 2017-02-26 10:01:15 EST
Description of problem: I've installed xautolock and tried to let it lock the xfce4-session with i3lock, but it doesn't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2-17 How reproducible: Try to let xautolock lock the session after 1 minute Steps to Reproduce: 1. xautolock -time 1 -locker "i3lock" 2. wait 1 minute Actual results: Screen isn't locked Expected results: Screen should be locked Additional info: I've recompiled xautolock without the 2 patches used in the original spec file of fedora 23, and it works.
Can you paste the output of "xprop -root"? Does it work without the second patch (XSS), but with the first?
Yeah, today I came back to office, and the first thing I did was upgrading my system. Now xautolock doesn't work, even without the patches. Here is the output of xprop -root: _NET_WM_USER_TIME(CARDINAL) = 425056 XFDESKTOP_IMAGE_FILE_1(STRING) = "/home/brueggemann/Syncthing/Bilder/Pony/sleepy_atop_a_cloud_by_uxyd.svg" _XROOTPMAP_ID(PIXMAP): pixmap id # 0x1400031 XFDESKTOP_IMAGE_FILE_0(STRING) = "/home/brueggemann/Bilder/muffin.png" _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 2, 0 _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING(WINDOW): window id # 0x1400003, 0x44000a0, 0x1a00001, 0x1000004, 0x2800027 _NET_CLIENT_LIST(WINDOW): window id # 0x1000004, 0x1400003, 0x1a00001, 0x44000a0, 0x2800027 _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x2800027, 0x0 _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 0 _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT(CARDINAL) = 0, 0 _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY(CARDINAL) = 3286, 1080 _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK(WINDOW): window id # 0xa00122 _NET_SUPPORTED(ATOM) = _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW, _NET_CLIENT_LIST, _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING, _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW, _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP, _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY, _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT, _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES, _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT, _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS, _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW, _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS, _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS, _NET_SHOWING_DESKTOP, _NET_SUPPORTED, _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK, _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_OPCODE, _NET_WM_ACTION_ABOVE, _NET_WM_ACTION_BELOW, _NET_WM_ACTION_CHANGE_DESKTOP, _NET_WM_ACTION_CLOSE, _NET_WM_ACTION_FULLSCREEN, _NET_WM_ACTION_MAXIMIZE_HORZ, _NET_WM_ACTION_MAXIMIZE_VERT, _NET_WM_ACTION_MINIMIZE, _NET_WM_ACTION_MOVE, _NET_WM_ACTION_RESIZE, _NET_WM_ACTION_SHADE, _NET_WM_ACTION_STICK, _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS, _NET_WM_CONTEXT_HELP, _NET_WM_DESKTOP, _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS, _NET_WM_ICON, _NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY, _NET_WM_ICON_NAME, _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE, _NET_WM_NAME, _NET_WM_PID, _NET_WM_PING, _NET_WM_STATE, _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE, _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW, _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION, _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED, _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN, _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ, _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT, _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL, _NET_WM_STATE_SHADED, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR, _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY, _NET_WM_STRUT, _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL, _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST, _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST_COUNTER, _NET_WM_USER_TIME, _NET_WM_USER_TIME_WINDOW, _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY, _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY_LOCKED, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY, _NET_WORKAREA, _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS, _GTK_HIDE_TITLEBAR_WHEN_MAXIMIZED, _GTK_SHOW_WINDOW_MENU, _NET_STARTUP_ID _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES(UTF8_STRING) = "Arbeitsfläche 1", "Arbeitsfläche 2", "Arbeitsfläche 3", "Arbeitsfläche 4", "" _NET_WORKAREA(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 3286, 1053, 0, 0, 3286, 1053, 0, 0, 3286, 1053, 0, 0, 3286, 1053 _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS(CARDINAL) = 4 PULSE_COOKIE(STRING) = "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" PULSE_SERVER(STRING) = "{b2e9f382c2ca47c2b8b74ed2ba67550f}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native" PULSE_SESSION_ID(STRING) = "1" PULSE_ID(STRING) = "1000@b2e9f382c2ca47c2b8b74ed2ba67550f/2121" NAUTILUS_DESKTOP_WINDOW_ID(WINDOW): window id # 0x1400003 XFCE_DESKTOP_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x1400003 AT_SPI_BUS(STRING) = "unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-fJL3MkhetM,guid=d60057533a33a74263bd85ed5693a42f" XKLAVIER_ALLOW_SECONDARY(INTEGER) = 0 GDK_VISUALS(INTEGER) = 183, 115 XAUTOLOCK_SEMAPHORE_PID(INTEGER) = 79, 11, 0, 0 _DT_RESTORE_MODE(STRING) = "xfce4" _DT_SAVE_MODE(STRING) = "xfce4" RESOURCE_MANAGER(STRING) = "Xft.antialias:\t1\nXft.hintstyle:\thintfull\nXft.rgba:\tnone\nXft.dpi:\t88\nXcursor.theme:\tBreeze_Snow\nXcursor.size:\t0\nXcursor.theme_core:\t1\n" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "de", "nodeadkeys", "compose:caps" Xorg_Seat(STRING) = "seat0" XFree86_has_VT(INTEGER) = 1 XFree86_VT(INTEGER) = 1
I wonder if this is something with XFCE. Does it work with any other DE? (I use it just fine with my DE-less setup based on XMonad.)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
I'm trying to use xautolock on Fedora 25 and I also came across this in an attempt to lock a keepass database upon X inactivity. This is the only native program in Fedora that purports to do something like this, and it doesn't work at all. xautolock -time 1 -locker "keepass --lock-all" -notify 30 -notifier "notify-send -u critical -t 10000 -- 'Locking KeePass in 30 seconds'" -detectsleep Is the command I'm trying to use, but even simpler versions don't do anything; the inactivity time is never reached and the locker is never triggered.
Upon further investigation, it seems as though the locker only works once per X-session. Someone doing a quick test would find that it works the first time, and then might report back that everything is ok, but they need to check the locker and time interval twice to see that it only works once.
