https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=762041 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=762041#c0 Summary: unclutter either does not work or freezes keyboard Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lashkevi@landau.ac.ru QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0 The "unclutter" command does not hide the mouse cursor, if you start it without "-grab -root" options. With these options it freezes keyboard till you move the mouse and the mouse pointer reappears. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start it as "unclutter -idle 3". 2. Move the mouse pointer into another window and wait. Nothing happens. The pointer remains visible. 3. Stop unclutter (e.g. "killall unclutter"). 4. Start it as "unclutter -idle 3 -grab -root". 5. Move the mouse into another window and try to type. 6. While the mouse pointer is visible, you are typing successfully. Then mouse pointer disappears and typing freezes. 7. Stir the mouse. The letters you have typed appear, sometimes in a queer order. It your window was Xterm, it may be frozen forever. Actual Results: See paragraphs 2 and 7 above. Expected Results: The mouse is hidden in 3 seconds (or a little more), and you can type and see the result immediately. This bug appears in 12.1. In OpenSUSE <=11.4 "unclutter" works perfectly. It have tried other binaries (OpenSUSE 11.4, OpenSUSE Factory) on 12.1. The binaries are launched successfully, but the result is the same. Probably, something is wrong with XOrg. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I suspect some application or part of your desktop environment to interfere with unclutter. Could you try if it happens also in Failsafe session?

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=762041 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=762041#c3 --- Comment #3 from Michael Lashkevich 2012-05-14 16:12:33 UTC --- Usually, I work under KDE3. Now I have tested in another session with (1) my default user / failsafe session; (2) a test user that I only use to test different features of window managers / failsafe session; (3) test user / KDE3 session. In all three cases, "unclutter" worked properly (it hid the mouse cursor in several seconds, when I launched it as "unclutter -idle 3"). I compared the output of the "ps x" command in my default session and in the case (3), but found nothing suspicious. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't see anything suspicious in the list of your running processes either. I think it could be caused by some KDE cursor/window/focus settings. Could you provide your ~/.kde/share/config ? Also it could help to see communication between unclutter and X server, you can record it this way: terminal1> xhost + terminal1> xscope -t > scope-log terminal2> DISPLAY=localhost:1 unclutter -idle 1 # move mouse, wait a little for it to (not) disappear, Ctrl+C unclutter terminal1> xhost - Attach the scope-log file. (Note that your X server will allow any client to connect during the time of test.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I didn't investigate why and if it is bug yet. However tooltip for the setting says: "Check this option if you want to run X11 programs that draw into the desktop such as xsnow, xpenguin or xmountain. If you have problems with applications like netscape that check the root window for running instances, disable this option." So it sounds like something that would interfere with the way unclutter works. Please test if unsetting this option helps to you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Indeed, I switched it on soon after the upgrade. Now I have switched off this option, and unclutter works properly, even without restarting X-server. Thank you very much!

I suggest to close as INVALID. I don't think it can be phrased more explicitely with still remaining general: "[...] If you have problems with applications like netscape that check the root window for running instances, disable this option." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
