Created attachment 503453 [details] gnome 3 screen after resume (should have blue vertical-stripped wallpaper) Description of problem: After resuming from a suspended session the wallpaper often doesn't load back, resulting in a black screen/background. The Gnome 3 shell is responsive, I can see menus and the cursor works -- just no wallpaper. I can even go back under System Settings > Background and select my background again and it's back to normal. I haven't been able to find any indication in the logs as to what's going on or why it happens. Once the whole background was a bright green, rather than black, but most of the time it's simply black. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 running the proprietary nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCI/SSE2 drivers with 'standard' Gnome 3 shell experience. Linux version 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64 (mockbuild.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.6.0 20110428 (Red Hat 4.6.0-6) (GCC) ) How reproducible: Almost always, more than 90% of the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Under System Settings > Screen make sure "Lock" is on after "Screen turns off" 2. Choose a wallpaper under System Settings > Backgrounds 3. Suspend the system under System Settings > Suspend 4. Resume the computer pressing the power button 5. Press a key on the keyboard to bring up login prompt and enter password Actual results: You are logged back into your Gnome 3 session, and everything is where it is when you left it (menus, windows, running apps, etc). Only the background/wallpaper is solid black. See attachment. Expected results: The Gnome 3 shell should look exactly how it was before suspending, including the background/wallpaper. Additional info: none

For what it's worth this only happens if you have the desktop lock on. With the lock off I never have issues with the wallpaper going black.
The same thing happens to me although it happens on practically every login as well so it is not just a suspend issue. Any way to debug this?
For me it happens immediately after switching desktops. Every time. I would be curious to find a way to debug his as well. I haven't been able to have a desktop background since I installed Fedora 15.
Attempting to set from the command line gives the following: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///home/tristan/Pictures/iss028e006193.jpg' Result: Desktop background. Ctrl+Alt+Down Result: Desktop switches. Background remains momentarily before switching back to black. $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri Result: 'file://change this with picture file' What in the world is overwriting this setting??
I am also having this issue in Fedora 16. I haven't used suspend, only shutdown / reboot. Could it be related to the proprietary nvidia driver? I'm using it too. I might try to switch to Nouveau and see if the problem resolves. Is there any known workaround? It's a bit dark for my taste right now ;)
I just ran a "yum update" and it fetched some newer nvidia driver, logout then login and the problem was fixed. I'll report again if the problem comes back.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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.
