https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432382 Summary: screensaver cannot be lifted if BBC iPlayer running Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bobharvey@europe.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community User This has taken a lot of running down, but ever since installing OpenSuse 11.0 on this HP 2133 netbook I have experienced odd lock-ups where the screensaver cannot be cancelled. I have traced it to my habit of listening to the BBC. There is a flash based iPlayer such as http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ao... If the screen saver comes on I can cancel it normally by using the mouse to get the password box, but only if I catch it within a few minutes. Leave it half an hour and the machine is unrecoverable. No password box ever appears. Nothing appears to crash - it just seems to be running indescribably slow. I can use ctrl-alt-F1 to eventually get a console, and can type my username at the login prompt and hit 'return' but the password prompt never appears. I have found no evidence in the system logs of any actual failure. steps to reproduce: Gnome desktop default (blank black) screen saver start firefox (default suse version) visit BBC and listen to live streaming of any radio station allow screen saver to come in (radio keeps playing) Wait Thats it. The screen saver dialogue will never appear. If the BBC .ram file is transferred to realplayer the problem does not arise - because while realplayer is outputting audio the screen saver never comes in. -- 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.
