[Cooker] [Bug 5784] [xscreensaver] Screenlocking does not work if SXreensaver is disapled
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5784 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-10 18:16 --- Thanks Jamie.. But it means there is no way to get screen lock working if you disable screen blanking, right ? In that case, I'll workaround that at gnome-panel level to run xlock if xscreensaver-command -lock doesn't return 0. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: REOPENED creation_date: description: I run gnome session and I tried to lock the screen from my computer and selected the appropriate icon from the main menu.

What's wrong with just popping up a dialog saying turn screen blanking on if you want locking to work? Selecting don't blank is effectively the same as killing the xscreensaver daemon outright - except it's easier to re-launch. And you obviously can't lock the screen if the daemon isn't running. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: REOPENED creation_date: description: I run gnome session and I tried to lock the screen from my computer and selected the appropriate icon from the main menu.

Well, xscreensaver-demo already does give a clear message that Disable Screen
Saver implies disable locking, in that, when that item is selected, all the
locking-related items (the checkbox, etc.) are grayed out.
However, xscreensaver-command didn't produce an error message when you tried to
lock; the patch below will make it so that xscreensaver-command -lock will
print an error (and exit with non-zero) when the daemon is in Disabled mode.
I don't know what lock the screen from my computer and selected the appropriate
icon from the main menu means exactly (I mean, I don't know what clicking on
that icon does exactly) but presumably it's just running xscreensaver-command?
If xscreensaver-command exits with non-zero, then that icon ought to present the
user with an error dialog, containing the text that xscreensaver-command printed
to stderr:
% xscreensaver-command -lock
xscreensaver-command: screen blanking is currently disabled.
Exit 255
% xscreensaver-command -lock
xscreensaver-command: activating and locking.
Exit 0
This patch will be in 4.14:

First I thought that the menu was there even thought I did not have xscreensaver

You misunderstand the purpose of that option -- it tells xscreensaver to do *nothing* (e.g., when watching a DVD, don't touch the screen.) It should *not* lock in that mode, because that would interfere with movie playing or whatever. Blank Only and the other modes *do* lock.
