debug output of locking the screen with unresponsive buttons (13.47 KB, text/plain)

debug output of locking the screen with unresponsive buttons

Running the commands

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock; dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity

quite reliably opens an unlock dialog with buttons that can't be clicked. If there is an embedded screen keyboard, it becomes unresponsive to pointer input as well. I can reproduce this on a Nexus 7 ARM device and on a x86_64 desktop.

Adding a delay of 1-2 seconds between Lock and SimulateUserActivity seems to make it happen much less frequently. Waiting for the screen to become black again and retrying, brings back pointer input too.

Here's the original bug report for Ubuntu on the Nexus 7:

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2014-08-20 20:24:07 UTC 
The screen lock is now implemented directly in gnome-shell, not in
gnome-screensaver (as it was with older version of GNOME 3 and GNOME 2.x).

If the reported problems persists in recent versions of GNOME, please file a new bug against gnome-shell with the "lock-screen" component selected.

If your installation is an older version of GNOME that cannot be upgraded (such as an enterprise version), please use the appropriate support mechanism from your vendor, or your distribution instead.
