[Bug 559110] New: gnome-screensaver-command --poke does not inhibit screensaver

It worked exactly like this in openSuSE 11.1 but not in 11.2.

[gs_manager_request_unlock] gs-manager.c:1782 (18:35:50): Request unlock but manager is not active
Which is OK when GS doesn't run (and when it runs, it disappears, unless locked). I would expect --poke to rather reset timers though. As unlocking the screen by --poke is weird behavior. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, the xdg-utils-1.0.2 in openSUSE 12.1 does not support Gnome 3. So the xdg-screensaver shipped with openSUSE 12.1 has no effect when trying to inhibit the screensaver, as it still uses the removed --poke option of gnome-screensaver-command. Unfortunately, there has not been an official stable release of xdg-utils at freedesktop.org since version 1.0.2: 1.1.0-rc1 was released in January 2011, but it is still missing this functionality. Rex Dieter of Fedora implemented the D-Bus API for GNOME screensaver in patch [1] on 31 March 2011, Fedora ships with his patches applied. Since both the video players (MPlayer and VLC, namely) and GNOME marked this interoperability issue as "won't fix", the way to go is fixing xdg-screensaver. This patch should be included in openSUSE.

It doesn't fix my problem (apparently me-tv doesn't actually call xdg-screensaver) but it should fix the problem for any application calling xdg-screensaver under Gnome 3.2. The package can be found at: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=xdg-utils&project=home%3Ajdelvare%3AFactory I invite every user affected by this problem under openSUSE 12.1 to give it a try and report.

I tested using a screensaver timeout of 60 seconds. The screen starts to fade out just a few seconds before the timeout, so first I thought it was because the fading starts earlier than the 59-second sleep time of the SimulateUserActivity D-BUS action (this race condition is addressed in [1]). However, even after applying [1] (with as low a loop interval as 10 seconds), the following remains: after the configured idle timeout the screen starts to fade out, and when complete, the screen returns to normal (continuing to play the movie with VLC, in my case) without actually starting the screensaver. This fadeout effect does not occur again after another 60 seconds, so it appears only at the first (real, not simulated) idle timeout. So I guess there is another related issue with gnome-shell or gnome-session. This might be because the SimulateUserActivity action is not the proper Inhibit/UnInhibit API, and gnome-screensaver does not propagate anything towards the shell after handling the SimulateUserActivity call. I'll try to look into the details later.

The only difference was that this one was set to require a password when returning from the screensaver. The fade-out effect occured as before, but instead of resuming the desktop, the password entry dialog was shown, as if the SimulateUserActivity would indeed simulate some user activity after the screensaver has kicked in, but not before. Looking at the output of `gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug`, when xdg-screensaver signals gnome-screensaver via the D-BUS method before the activation of the screensaver, the following output is logged: [gs_manager_request_unlock] gs-manager.c:1346 (<time>): Request unlock but manager is not active My guess is that gnome-screensaver does not reset its idle counter correctly upon receiving the SimulateUserActivity call. Apparently the gs_manager_request_unlock function is called from gs_monitor_simulate_user_activity in gs-monitor.c. This function has the following comment: "FIXME: reset the xsync timer?" -- 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.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559110 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559110#c9 --- Comment #9 from Gábor Varga <vargusz@fazekas.hu> 2012-02-07 15:08:29 UTC --- Leaving write-only mode, I have noticed that comment #2 has already shown the root cause. The transition from the --poke option of gnome-screensaver-command to the SimulateUserActivity D-BUS interface of gnome-screensaver has just been an additional problem, the original one was never solved. Also, comment #1 points to the original upstream Gnome bug: 17 new comments have appeared there since, including a few (broken) attempts to fix the issue. Despite all efforts, the bug remains in the state RESOLVED WONTFIX, as the Gnome people would like the video players to adopt their D-BUS interface, and the video player people (both MPlayer and VLC) say that they are only willing to use standardized interfaces (freedesktop.org). So the patch in comment #5 is not enough. Debian testing has an additional patch at [1], in file xdg-screensaver-new-gnome.diff. It requires perl, perl-Net-DBus and perl-X11-Protocol, however, it failed on my openSUSE system with message "Connection to server failed: No protocol specified" when calling X11::Protocol->new(), so some minor modifications might be necessary. The Debian bug was tracked at [2], and was solved on November 20, 2011. [1] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xdg-utils/xdg-utils_1.1.0~rc1+git20...
