Description Dan Horák 2008-03-05 13:31:42 UTC
Description of problem:
When I switch from text console to X seesion (with Alt+F7) and the screensaver
is in the fading phase then the fading is finished (I see only black screen) but
the screensaver either doesn't react or no output can be seen. I don't see the
"unlocking window" which asks for my password.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-screensaver-2.20.0-10.fc8


How reproducible:
I hope everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. switch from X to text console
2. wait 9<x<10 minutes (need to catch the fading phase)
3. switch from console to X
$. fading is finished and now only a black screen is shown

  
Actual results:
black screen is shown


Expected results:
after a mouse movement or a keypress the "unlocking window" is shown

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 10:01:19 UTC
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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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:

Comment 2 Dan Horák 2008-11-28 22:20:51 UTC
The same behavior recently noticed on F-9.

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2009-03-23 14:13:27 UTC
experienced the behaviour on F-10, but I have a workaround - wait >10 minutes until the screensaver is started for the next time and use mouse/keypress to show the unlock dialog

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:04:41 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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.
