Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
I have seen this bug for months.
Randomly but very often, Gnome-Screensaver seems to freeze and stop
marking the session as idle.
As a result :
- the screensaver never appears;
- and the most annoying, gnome-power-manager never suspend anything, because
it is based on the gnome-screensaver idle marking.
So I often found my computer screen had stayed on for hours, until I use
this quick and dirty sequence in a script that I start every 30 min with
cron :
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0.0
killall gnome-screensaver
sleep 1
gnome-screensaver
I don't know how to provide more information as there is no visible
crash. Please let me know how I can help. It would be great if this
problem were seriously investigated, I think it is an important issue.
