Bug ID: 353694
Summary: Powerdevil does not automatically lock the screen when
configured to do so
Product: Powerdevil
Version: 5.4.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-devel@kde.org
Reporter: ra...@electronsweatshop.com
I have checked the box in the "Screen Locking" tab of the KDE settings for
"Lock screen automatically after:" and set a value of 5 minutes. However, the
screen never locks (unless I manually lock it with CTRL-ALT-L.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure KDE to automatically lock the screen after N minutes. (I have
N=5.)
2. Wait N minutes.
Actual Results:
The screen never locks, even after hours.
Expected Results:
The screen should lock after N minutes of inactivity.
This may be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352069, but that
bug was complaining that *disabling* screen lock caused the lock to start. I've
actually not tried that out, but if that's true perhaps the boolean is just
interpreted backwards! I'll give this a try to confirm or disconfirm.
I'm running KDE on Fedora Rawhide:
% rpm -q powerdevil
powerdevil-5.4.2-1.fc24.x86_64
I chose major for severity since people might rely on the automatic screen lock
to protect their computers.
