Description of problem: I can start the screensaver by manually selecting lock screen, but the screensaver won't start despite the options being set it to start (for example) after 10 minutes of inactivity. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Log in to KDE 2.Right click on Desktop -> Configure Desktop->Screensaver, have it automatically start after X minutes. 3. Wait X+1 minutes. Actual results: Screensaver doesn't start. Expected results: Screensaver should start. Additional info:
KDE Screensaver definitely works on all my boxes. Any Additional details about your machine/setup/configuration would be helpful.
Looks like you are running some background process that somehow blocks starting the screensaver. Can you post the results of the following: dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isEnabled and then after the time when screensaver should start: dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isBlanked
I have this same problem. I set my configuration to start after 1 minute. I can start the screen saver manually also, but it never automatically starts. Please let me know if I can provide any more information. before screen saver should start: [zeigler@linux64 ~]$ dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isEnabled true After 1.5 minutes have elapsed: [zeigler@linux64 ~]$ dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isBlanked false
I also have the same problem.. and it showed up about ~week ago. Before that everything was working ok. :(
For folks experiencing this, what video hw/driver are you using?
In the meantime, this is probably something to get upstream involved with, and report to them at bugs.kde.org. I have no idea why/how this affects some folks, and not others. Neither I, nor any other fedora kde-sig'er (afaik) can reproduce this.
I no longer have this problem. Whenever you upgraded to the next version of KDE this last time (KDE-3.5.9 I believe), it fixed my problem.
Brandon, how about you?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. 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 prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
