OpenSUSE :: Screensaver Messes Up After Running VLC Or Fldigi
Jun 10, 2010
I'm running 11.2. My screen saver has been working fine since the begining in December, but now when I run VLC or fldigi my screen saver will kick on for only a few minutes then it will pop back to the log in screen as if I had moved my mouse or hit a key on the keyboard.
VLC about shows : gcc version 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839]
fldigi is latest version
I get a lot of these in var/log/messages:
unix2_chkpwd: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock 'login' keyring: 1
unix2_chkpwd: pam_env(gnome-screensaver:setcred): non-alphanumeric key 'alias sox=padsp sox' in /etc/environment', ignoring
unix2_chkpwd: pam_env(gnome-screensaver:setcred): non-alphanumeric key 'alias aumix=padsp aumix' in /etc/environment', ignoring
unix2_chkpwd: pam_env(gnome-screensaver:setcred): non-alphanumeric key 'alias timidity=timidity -Oe' in /etc/environment', ignoring
If I reboot, it works corectly until I run one of those two. Not sure about any other audio type of program. Bad updates, virus, or something else?

Is there an easy way to lock my computer screen without a screensaver running? What I'm trying to do is basically fire up a web browser or terminal window that I want to watch/monitor but lock my screen so that it can't be changed unless you know the password to log in as that user.

I have upgraded to 11.04 all seems well except that now the two machines I have upgraded frequently hang while the screensaver is running. (with unity desktop). Is someone working on this? Gateway t-series notebook and a dell mini 9 netbook that are hanging. The netbook seems to be hanging the most.

I have a bash script that messages the user periodically. Is there any way in the script to check if the screensaver is running, so the script doesn't spam messages while the user is away? The xscreensaver process is always running in the background, I've noticed.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, or if this has been asked before, but it has been bugging me for some time and I have not had any luck with it. I imagine that my problem is not unique to my circumstances, but here goes.I am running Arch Linux, and quite frequently watch videos, particularly flash, in fullscreen. However, eventually, the screensaver appears, and starts dimming the screen. I have the screensaver set to run whenever the computer is 'idle'. Does anyone know a way to either.Stop the screensaver from appearing when in a flash video or watching other video?Stop the screensaver from appearing when a flash video or normal video is full-screened? Heck, even..Let the screensaver know that my machine is not idle when watching flash.

have you ever tried to type into xterm ? (output of 5-11.1): Code: xscreensaver-command -lock xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0 If it is working for you, which version of xscreensaver do you have?

There'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..

I had this problem at times with 11.2 as well; I use GNOME. I have intermittent lockups when invoking the screen saver either while idle or soon afterward while using Firefox; problem seems to not show up if I do not use a screen saver when idle.

Few weeks ago after updating vlc player from 1.0.5 to 1.1.4 (now) it stopped disabling screen saver and while watching movies (DVD or file) I have to hit a key or mouse every few minutes because the screen saver goes on.I had no such problem before. It happen after updating and I'd like to add that I have checked the box 'Disable screen saver' in vlc settings.I run on OpenSuse 11.2, KDE 4.3.5, VLC 1.1.4, kernel Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop x86_64

I'm using Gnome on openSUSE 11.3. I wonder. How do you edit screensaver properties? For example get phosphor to display a stream of news? You could specify in Fedora and Ubuntu.

Suse 11.2 and kde, I'm trying to set up a screensaver. All the facilities seem to be there when I go System>Desktop and set the required details, but then I find the screensaver is non-operative, the screen just going blank after the preset time delay.
The set-up system does do the demo of the screensaver OK, so the software for it must be there and at least partly accessible. But it doesn't seem to get through to the system.

I decided to install Ubuntu 10.04 under Windows 7, but once I got it installed, I switched back over to Windows 7 real quick to find my display stretched. I tried to change it, but Ubuntu had made the current display the highest setting, so it was stretched until I removed Ubuntu. I wish to reinstall it but do not want to deal with that again. What happened?

I am new to Linux and I am having a huge problem after install nfs-kernel-server. I run "apt-get install nfs-kernel-server". It runs and says it installs without errors, at least what I saw. Also the syslog was clean of errors related. Where the problem happens is when I try to start the NFS server and also on boot. When I start the service manually, it says starting portmap and ...something else. Then it gets to the point of saying it is starting the NFS server and crashes and I have no prompt. On some cases I can break out of it with (ctrl+c).
The problem that happens on boot...and this is only happens after nfs-kernel-server is installed. I reboot and I have no prompt. The only thing on the screen is a message complaining about something related to fsck, the odd thing is when I look to see if fsck has made any log outputs about fsck. When I cat the fsck log it says the log has no entries. The worst part is I have no way to log in from the console the machine gives me no prompt. I know it is something related to NFS because I have reinstalled the machine and it work perfect until I install NFS.

If I perform the following steps:
1. Start up a new Amazon instance running CentOS 5.2
2. Log in via ssh using a private key
3. Execute "yum -y groupinstall "X Window System"
4. Reboot
I am no longer able to log in:
janine$ ssh -i ~/.ec2/key.pem root@ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com
ssh: connect to host ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com port 22: Operation timed out
I see that the X install updates several openssh packages, but I have checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config before and after the install and it's not being changed. Besides, this is acting more like a firewall issue, but why would installing X have anything to do with that? And it's kind of tough to check and see if iptables has been started up after the reboot since I can't log in. I can't find any docs saying that I need to do any configuring after installing X; it seems like it's supposed to Just Work.

Back when I used openSUSE 10.3 with KDE 3.5.x I used the KDE-specific version of blueproximity found here: K-Blueproximity KDE-Apps.org. The thing that made it great was that it integrated kscreensaver.
It hasn't been updated in a couple years and isn't compatible with 4.3.x so I'm using the non-KDE-ified standard blueproximity package. For the most part it works. Based on comments I found somewhere I'm running the following command to lock the screen:
Code:
qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver Lock ; xset dpms force off
and to unlock:
Code:
xset dpms force on ; killall -9 krunner_lock kblankscrn.kss
.
The problem is that the unlock command doesn't work. My monitors will reactivate and the screensaver will display but in order to actually unlock I have to hit a key/move the mouse and enter my password.
what the command should be to actually unlock the screen since the above doesn't work.

My screen saver crashes.Even trying to look at the screensaver in the desktop settings crashes.The crashhandler says "This backtrace appears to be of no use. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash. System configuration startup check disabled.

I am using opensuse 11.2 Gnome. Screensaver is spoiling video streaming and I have to manually stop it every time. There are options in media players to stop screensaver but when I watch videos online it seems like there is no global option to stop it. Is there a way to resolve this issue?

I've just installed 11.1 and so far things seem to work OK. When I left the machine the screen saver kicked in and wouldn't let meback on with my password I chose during installation (and the only password I chose!) Re-booting the machine sorted the problem...until next time! I have now disabled the lock out for the screen saver so things ought to work now, but why did it do this? New with openSuse!

Does anyone now if SMplayer is able to disable screensaver when playing video? There is an option to have SMplayer to do so within the settings menubut that does nothing, screensaver is still being activated after 5 min. Anyone managed to have the player do this? I am on KDE4 by the way.Kaffeine does disable screensaver but I do not like the KDE4 Kaffeine.

Hearing the praises about fastness of xfce all over the net i decided to try it for my fav ubuntu i rightaway installed xubuntu (without creating a bakup of the names of programs that were going to be installed which i generally do to fully remove any utility that i install for test) i understood that fast for xfce actually meant light(stupid me). now i switch back to gnome onlt to find xfce stuff like pacmn file browser and wicd to name a few. i removed the pacmn browser but when i remove wicd the default network manager does not show up in the task panel i would like to know:
1.how to get back to gnome'z default network manager AND
2.the list of utilities installed when xubuntu-desktop is installed

I come today with a nasty problem. My computer has a Intergrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 IGP. Now despite being a IGP its more or less its own GPU. Thing is I can't get the full power if I don't use the drivers (I do some thigns that need acceleration)
I recently came back to Ubuntu cause my Windows 7 DVD wont work anymore so I have to play with ubuntu again. Currently Im running 9.10 32bit (because 10.04 LTS doesn't want to work for me even after burning a clean CD-RW (one that has never been used or blanked))
Every time I try to install the driver for my card from the resricted drivers menu, when I reboot it causes ubuntu to screw up and wont go into X and stays in terminal. Its been awhile since I tried it but after just fixing my computer I don't feel like taking the risk.

I dual boot my ubuntu 10.04 with my windows 7, I had 4 partitions on my machine, 2 ntfs and 2 ext4 partitions. But I noticed I still had an unallocated 10gb on my hdd, I couldn't see this unallocated space from ubuntu, fdisk, gparted etc. So I used diskmgmt in windows to create the 10gb ntfs partition, when I restarted I couldn't boot into either windows or ubuntu. I used my livecd to reinstall grub and everything was fine until I booted into windows 7 and restarted. Again my grub has been messed up.

I think it is very annoying, that kde slideshow screensaver does not rotate images according to the jpeg exif information. I've found a bug report from 2005 for this topic Bug 103282 - no exif-rotation in slideshow) but as far as I see it still does not work. Any idea how can I set up kde to rotate the images?

got a suspend problem with OpenSuse 11.3. I configured the powersave module that whenever I close down the screen of my laptop it suspends to ram. Works fine so far except when the screensaver is active. It just stays on when I close down the lid.

I'm running openSUSE 11.3 with an Intel GM965 on-board video card. After upgrading xorg-x11-server to 7.5_1.9.0-62.2.x86_64 from Index of /repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.3/x86_64 after a suggestion to fix a different problem, I noticed that the screensaver seems to work fine as mentioned above. However, I've noticed now that when the screen starts to dim before applying the actual screensaver I apparently can't cancel the screensaver initiation until after the screen finishes dimming (that is, goes completely black) and the screensaver actually starts. No amount of mouse gestures, clicks or key strokes will cancel the screensaver once the screen starts to dim until the screensaver itself starts running.

When 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
