Going back through the last 5 versions of SUSE I have observed this same problem with the screen saver. I am currently on 10.2 and about to go to 10.3
I have the screen saver set for random (more interesting that way) to start after 4-minutes of idle time. I have: Use OpenGL screen savers and Use screen savers that manipulate the screen clicked on. Also, somewhere, I have it set to just go dark/blank after about 10-minutes.
Every once in awhile (sometimes a month) this fails and the screen just stays on. Nothing I can think of to do works to restore the functionality outside of a reboot.
This time I did notice that I had Firefox minimized but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Any ideas what causes this intermittent behavior?
maybe gnome-screensaver is crashing, is it still running when the screen doesn't lock? If it is crashing, try to run it under gdb to get a stack trace and file a bug report with it attached.
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I am running KDE and have been all along so does your suggestion still apply?
sorry, I read ...screensaver.. and immediately thought it was gnome-screensaver. If you use KDE, you might want to do the same with kscreensaver and see if it's crashing -- Rodrigo Moya
From what I understand, there is no such thing as kscreensaver. The different screensavers are started by some kde daemon (kded?) when everything works as expected. -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
