[Bug 555870] Re: Gamma values are not being set properly after a second fade out resulting in a black screen
Robert Hooker, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect 555870 ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 546578 black screen after a few user switches ** Package changed: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555870 Title: Gamma values are not being set properly after a second fade out resulting in a black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screensaver/+bug/555870/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hello Chris Coulson. Are you sure there is no relation to bug "black screen after a few user switches" (#546578)? I thought there is a "fade" when at userswitch/logout. See bug #546578: [..] [Workaround] 2 Blindfold: Unlock session by typing password, then press - (call "Run ..." dialog), then type "xgamma -gamma 1.0" and hit [Workaround] 3 Update gnome-screensaver to 2.30.0-0ubuntu2 or higher (yet in proposed repo). Those versions are compiled with disabled "fade on lock". [..] For me it looks a bit like this bug (look above): [..] xrandr --output LVDS1 --gamma 1:1:1 [..] Please review. thx -- Gamma values are not being set properly after a second fade out resulting in a black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555870 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Incidentally, I think the issue here is that the VT switch occurs before the fade is finished, and the subsequent SetCrtcGamma commands on the inactive VT (including the command to reset the gamma) are silently ignored. -- Gamma values are not being set properly after a second fade out resulting in a black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555870 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks, but we're not going to disable fading in a SRU, and your patch introduces a really annoying regression anyway (I get no window in which I can cancel the screensaver to avoid having to unlock the screen).
