Rémi, I'm sorry but that is not very helpful to me. Could you give me the specific log files you want to have a look at?
What I already found out is the following Running the following command in the terminal dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.SessionManager --type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=20000 /org/gnome/SessionManager org.gnome.SessionManager.IsInhibited uint32:8 * without vlc running gives: method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.22997 reply_serial=2 boolean false * with vlc playing a video gives: method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.23038 reply_serial=2 boolean true * with the video paused in vlc gives (bug #589722) gives: method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.23052 reply_serial=2 boolean false * with the video finished playing gives: method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.23069 reply_serial=2 boolean true * with vlc stopped running gives: method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.23052 reply_serial=2 boolean false So it seems a) that the screensaver is still just inhibited by vlc via dbus. So, I presume vlc just does not uninhibit the screensaver when the video is finished playing b) there seems to be a substantial difference to bug #589722 as the screensaver is uninhibited when the video is paused. It still this will not start the screensaver but it seems to me that this has another cause. Please, let me know if you need more information and be as specific as you possibly can be. I'm happy to provide debug information but at least I will have to know what to do...;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986785 Title: vlc keeps inhibiting the screensaver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/986785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
