[Bug 779639] Re: gnome screensaver activation is hindered by unobscure routine
Truth be told, I never understood what Shih-Yuan Lee's patch did or how it addressed this bug. My patch is much simpler, but it only addresses a symptom of the bug (the unobscure routine deactivating the screensaver) rather than the underlying bug (why is the obscure/unobscure routine called at every invocation of the screensaver?). Of course, a patch of a particularly annoying symptom is still better than no patch for the underlying cause... To apply the patch, you must use the Debian package building system to rebuild the gnome-screensaver package. It's very easy to apply if you are familiar with that system, but it's beyond the scope of this bug tracker to provide directions. -- 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/779639 Title: gnome screensaver activation is hindered by unobscure routine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screensaver/+bug/779639/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I've recently came across this problem too. I was installing some Unity quicklists using Confity 1.6 and then the problem started. Maybe God knows if Confity is the cause of my problems. Also (and please forgive me for asking), how do I apply this patch? I tried the repo posted above (posted by Shih-Yuan Lee) but that did not work for me.

Jason: Do you have a screensaver password that activates immediately when the screensaver activates? If you do, then instead of deactivating the screensaver, it will simply pop up the password dialog box. In either case, did you apply my patch listed in the Gnome Bugzilla linked to this bug, and rebuild the screensaver? http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=187479 That patch *does* fix this bug.
