Ok, so I think I've figured this one out. The problem is that the /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver script does detect the desktop-environment (in our case: "xfce"), but when checking for it in "perform_action" there's actually no case that matches xfce, so it never does anything if it detects xfce. This was previously not noted because we used xscreensaver, which has a special case built in.
There is one easy workaround: replace the '' in line 435 with 'xfce' and it should work. The desired patch is probably adding a special case for light-locker just as there's one for xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver, cause it could also be used in other DEs. However, there is one big caveat: the script in its current form always sets the screensaver timeout to the system default value of "600" (i.e. 10minutes). So the feature of remembering the timeout and re-setting it correctly on "resume" would have to be added in a second step. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309744 Title: Light Locker blanks the screen when playing video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/parole/+bug/1309744/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
