Re: [Bug 146412] Re: gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up
Hi Pedro, Sorry, I probably should have closed this a long time ago. The issue I encountered turned out not to be a bug in Ubuntu; it was due to a rather unique PAM configuration I was playing with. Thanks, David. On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 01:16:36PM -, Pedro Villavicencio wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make > Ubuntu better.

As I stated in my latest comment, it was a stupid user error, more or less.

[Bug 146412] Re: gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up
Thanks for the tip! It wasn't in fact the same issue, but just looking at /etc/pam.d and /var/log/auth.log helped me getting to the root of this. While running Feisty I added the line @include common-pamkeyring to /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver to enable automatic WPA authentication after resuming from hibernate. In Gutsy common-pamkeyring isn't available, which caused gnome-screensaver to fail. It should've failed in a more graceful manner, of course, but removing the extra line from /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver made things work again. I'll notice upstream about the cause of the problem and the "fix". -- gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 146412] Re: gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up
Not sure whether this is of any help to you. I encountered the same symptoms and discovered that the problem stemmed from the permissions of /etc/pam.d/common-password being incorrectly set to 600 when it should be 644. Looking at /var/log/auth.log should confirm or deny whether yours is the same issue. -- gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 146412] Re: gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up
I had a similar experience upgrading. I'm not entirely sure if the bug is the same, so this comment might warrant its own bug identifier. Here's the whole story. I've never done a successful upgrade from either CD or online, so I completely copied my root and home partitions to a spare disk before doing anything. I've safely reverted to Feisty thanks to the GPartEd Live CD. I issued "sudo update-manager -d". (BTW I intended to do this before the official release, but the partition copying took too long). I chose to upgrade. Estimated time of several hours — stupid time to do it, really. Closed all of my desktop apps as advised. Went to sleep. Next morning my screensaver was on, but I only received the unlock dialogue for less than a second before it disappeared. Logged into a terminal, looking for a process to kill. Unable to kill gnome-screensaver, and couldn't find any other processes which looked right. I restarted X with ctrl-alt- backspace. This is where I have to admit that my recollection is less clear. I certainly wasn't able to load my complete desktop. On one try, I remember getting everything except the GNOME panels. I didn't think to try another WM. I gave up and restored because I needed to use the machine. I did capture some details but absent-mindedly blew them away when I restored my home partition! Kernel is 2.6.20-16-generic, Athlon 2000 processor, Nvidia card without proprietary driver, Metaballs screensaver. Can provide any further system details you think might be relevant. I think if this is reproducible in the upgrade context then it is a serious bug. At the very least, the upgrade might offer to disable the screensaver if this avoids the problem, and if it can't be readily solved by other means. I can imagine that a relatively new user going through his/her first upgrade would be considerably less impressed with Ubuntu after b0rking their machine like this in an upgrade. Apologies for longwindedness, hope it helps, and happy to provide further diagnostic info. -- gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 146412] Re: gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up
Does anyone have any hints for debugging this bug? I'd like to help solving it. Btw, this bug has an annoying side effect on a laptop. When gnome- screensaver-dialog and gnome-screensaver have to be killed, the timeout for entering powersaving (sleep or hibernate) is never voided. I guess that's a separate bug though. -- gnome-screensaver-dialog never shows up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have a strong feeling that the linked upstream bug could be the same issue.
