OpenSUSE :: Gnome-Screensaver 'Timeout Has Expired' Causes Freeze?
Apr 17, 2011When I resume my computer from suspend (or after it goes to screensaver), I am sometimes unable to log back in. The message on the lock box simply says 'Timeout has expired' or something to that effect.There is no way to get around that, all I can do is cold-boot loosing all the work I was doing (unsaved).I do not have desktop effects enabled.Running Gnome 2.32, OpenSUSE 114., n550 proc and x3150 Intel GMA

May 24, 2010I've just upgraded to 10.4 LTS
First thing i notice is that if i leave the computer long enough for the screensaver to come on, when i want to start work again it requires the user password. It never used to do that and its a nuisance. There is no option to remember it that i can see either. How do i stop it asking for a password every time?
Secondly, i want some thing like the "my computer" facility. I tried setting up an icon using gsconfig - the icon is now on the desktop" - it says "browse all local & remote disks connected to this computer". When i click on it i get an icon saying file system. When i open that i get quite a lot of folders displayed. But what i'm trying to locate is the USB memory stick i have plugged in.. i can't find it..
I also tried setting it up as recommended on a site i found, by right clicking the top left icon on the desktop to get into edit menus. But i dont get that option, or the help option. i just get: about remove from panel move lock to panel.
Ubuntu :: Computer Freeze Due To Low RAM?
Feb 26, 2010I was just browsing and it said something about it requiring 256MB of RAM to install the 9.04 OS. I was curious if that would cause the freezing during install and the freezing during usage of my laptop.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Diagnose Computer Freeze?
Jan 18, 2010My old custom PC is starting to die on me. Half the time the bios won't POST, and when it does beep and start to load, the system will freeze at random. It will freeze in bios settings, loading up the OS, or just whenever it wants to. Sooner or later I actually get the computer running, and it will freeze less and less frequently until it will be able to stay unfrozen for days as long as I don't reboot it. Rebooting the machine will usually start the whole freezing process all over again. Anyway, I want to learn how to figure out what is not working on my computer. I have been switching out RAM, PSUs, video cards, and bios settings to see if I could fix it, but nope. So how do I go about diagnosing this problem? I'm pretty much assuming it's a hardware one.

Nov 10, 2010my computer froze solid, and it would not react to anything. X didn't react to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, not Ctrl+Alt+Del, so I had to turn it off using the power button.
This is the first time my computer freezes like this, the log files did not reveal any HW errors. Is it possible that someone in the channel did not like my level of Java skill, and flooded me to disconnect?
By the way; Im using slackware 13.1 with the default kernel (2.6.33.4) and irssi as IRC client.
I know that if you eg. ICMP-flood someone, the traffic will be denied and, but can it provoke other behavior from the computer?
So my question is; can a IRC flood/DDoS attack cause a computer to freeze sub zero?
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Freeze Of 20-30 Seconds When Starting Computer / Solve It?
Mar 31, 2011I have openSUSE 11.4 KDE 64 bit. openSUSE is really great, but I hate the freeze when I startup my computer. Desktop appears but I cannot do anything. This takes approximately 20 to 30 seconds and than my plasmoid-networkmanager shows network is up. As from this moment freeze is over.
I already tried to switch off ipv6 and put nomodeset in grub, though this is not helping. Does anyone have any idea what this is and how I can solve this?
Ubuntu :: Unreadable Files In /dev - Computer To Freeze: Graphics Driver Or Gnome Or The X Server?
Jun 9, 2011Basically, this has required me to force restart my computer whenever something causes my computer to freeze: graphics driver or gnome, or the X server, I'm a newbie so I don't really know what the problem is.
I looked into the /dev folder today to find nvidia0 (I saw an error message once that said that it couldn't open it...), and there were TONS of files marked as unreadable/unknown file type. There were files called tty up to 63, ram up to 15, and vcsa up to vcsa7...etc. I saw this thread when I googled my problem, and I'm worried about the effect all these force restarts are having on my computer. I can't imagine this is a good thing, how do I stop/fix this?
Come to think of it, I didn't start seeing the 'blue mist' mentioned in my other thread until I force restarted the graphically demanding program that froze everything. Could this be the source of my problem?
Ubuntu :: Install WINE Screensaver In Gnome-screensaver Possible?
May 19, 2010There's an OSS screensaver on windows that I love called PixelCity (links:blog post, github). it's pretty cool. and it runs fine on my Ubuntu (Karmic 9.10) with wine.Is there a way I can tell the gnome-screensaver about it so I can use it as one of my screensavers? I'm still fairly new to Gnome and the whole "screensavers as themes" thing is still confusing me.I've found my themesdir and tried to create a .desktop file for it, but obviously I've gotten something wrong as it just doesn't show when I open the screensaver prefs dialog, no error, no message, it's just not there.
Installing the xscreensaver packages added the extra screensavers I was missing, and I'm a pixelcity away from perfection..Of course the perfect solution would be if someone ported the screensaver natively to linux, which shouldn't be too hard as the source is open, it already runs on openGL and tries to confine most windows stuff to a single file. But I don't know C++ or 3D code or win/linux internals so I wouldn't know where to start..
General :: Fix USB Mouse Freeze In Ubuntu 10.04 Or Fedora 13?
Jul 30, 2010I'm just starting out using linux and so I installed Ubuntu to a hard disk. I noticed that after 30 minutes or so, the mouse pointer would simply stop moving while the keyboard was o.k. Exact same problem with Fedora as well. (The mouse works fine in Vista (it's a MS Comfort mouse 1000)) I searched and found a suggestion that I should disable the sleep settings, so I did that but no luck.
Interestingly, there is no freezing of the mouse when I use the Ubuntu Live CD - it's only the hard-disk-installed Ubuntu that's having the problem. Update Found some old links from 2009 that say I should remove the "mouseemu" package. How to remove that package? Update Unfortunately, that did not help - there is no mouseemu pkg installed. I tried setting kernel boot options noapic, irqpoll etc. - no luck. This is so annoying.

Dec 11, 2010I'm running Fedora 12 and the last couple days I have noticed my screensaver will not start anymore. I did a yum update a few days ago don't know if there is a connection between the two. I've just started to Google the topic. Found different culprits ranging from dbus problems to buggy code.
I'm using a x86_64 PC running kernel 2.6.32.23-170.fc12.x86_64. My Gnome version is 2.28.2. The Gnome-screensaver version is 2.28.3-1.fc12.x86_64.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Screensaver Ignoring Configured Settings?
Dec 22, 2010I am using F14 installed from DVD, updated to the latest bugfixes for all packages; I also have the nvidia proprietary drivers installed.I have configured my gnome-screensaver using gnome-screensaver-preferences to have a delay of one hour before it blanks the screen. However, no matter the settings I choose (even testing with only a 1 minute delay) the screensaver always kicks in at the 10 minute mark. This persists no matter the graphics driver I use.The only means by which I can stop the screen from locking while watching videos online is to kill the gnome-screensaver daemon.What information should I provide to assist in determining why this is happening? It's very aggravating. I'll include my current xorg.conf in the event that it may help.

Fedora :: Create Gnome Screensaver From Video File
Feb 28, 2009I was wondering how to create a GNOME screensaver from a video file? I don't really care what video format the screensaver creator supports because I can always transcode the video with ffmpeg or mencoder. I also, don't care if the creator uses proprietary formats such as mpeg, mpeg4, avi, etc. I do however want the program to create an installable screensaver.

Aug 29, 2010when I leave the computer and xscreensaver - which I have a link to in my .kde/Autostart directory - starts up, all hell breaks loose. I don't know if my desktop compositing is doing this (I have an ATI Radeon x1200 card with stable Mesa GL, seems to run compiz just fine) or if one of the individual screensavers is b0rked but it always seems to end with me coming back to a still-life shot of my computer screen with a BRIGHT BLUE translucent stripe across the top. Alt-SysRq-K doesn't do anything from that point on, Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't do anything and I have to hit the power button. I don't have multiple screensaver programs running at once, I've already disabled the native KDE saver. I never had this problem with GNOME, but couldn't enable compositing on it either.
FYI for anyone that feels the need to ask, I use the "radeon" driver and my glxinfo is thus:

Fedora :: Screensaver/power Management Results In Logout?
Dec 22, 2010I have searched for a solution to this issue (it's difficult to come up with a minimum number of search terms) and have found at least one person reporting it, but the solution is "check the xorg logfile" - which is entirely too vague, since I don't know what I'm looking for in the file. Here's the issue: The screensaver and/or power management appears to initiate a logout when I try to awaken the computer, whether the screensaver is still functioning or the screen has been turned off. Wither way, I jiggle the mouse, and it appears there is a crash (black screen with spinning mouse circle) resulting in a new login screen, which is entirely disruptive if I have software running, such as recording an audio stream with Audacity.
I'm using KDE with an OpenGL screensaver (antinspect) set to engage after 10 minutes. As for power settings, I am "letting powerdevil manage screen power saving." On the screen tab I have checked "Dim display when idle for more than [10] minutes." I have enabled display power management - standby after 20 minutes and power off after 30 minutes. (There are way too many options under KDE now, and I don't find an explanation of what the various "Profile Management" options do and what the tabs for "Actions" and "CPU and System" do differently from the "Screen" tab. I have an ATI 4650 video adapter. I'm not using a proprietary driver, since I've not been able to determine that there is one that will work with Fedora 14 (or any other Fedora, for that matter). The machine is a recent AMD (dual core 6000+) with 4Gb of memory.
Fedora :: Unable To Use The Screensaver In Asus 27" Monitor
Jan 27, 2011Just upgraded to a super sexy Asus 27" LED monitor. It's awesome, however ther are a few quirks I'm wondering if I just have to live with or if they're fixable. These may not be directly related to the monitor...hence posting here rather than hardware.Specs: Asus 27" LED VE278Q monitor. Nvidia graphics card. Dell 8100 w/ 8GB ram, 64-bit. Fedora 13 running Gnome.
The first quirk is that I have a VNC window open almost all the time and if I leave my cursor on the VNC window, the screensaver won't come on, even if no action has happened on the keyboard or mouse (or in the VNC window). It would be nice if the screensaver worked.
The second problem is that when I'm using the keyboard and/or mouse in the VNC window, apparently, the screensaver doesn't realize the keyboard is being used...and the moment I switch to a different window, up comes the screensaver.
I'm having what I think is a documented hardware issue probably related to the Nvidia driver: at infrequent times, often when I'm using GIMP or other graphics-intensive program, the screen will flicker and/or go completely black for a split second. Distracting as all hell, but not a show stopper. It does not appear to happen when I'm using the web or doing other non-graphic intensive stuff, so I'm guessing this is not the monitor itself, but rather the card or the drivers for it.
Fedora :: Script To Disable Screensaver Only While Watching Movies
