GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 631625
gnome-screensaver reactivates dpms suspended screens
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:15:05 UTC
Created attachment 171908 [details] gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug output I use the following script to lock my console and suspend my screens: gnome-screensaver-command --lock sleep 7s xset dpms force standby First, everything works as expected. I see the screensaver appearing on the screens and after 7s the screens go into standby mode. But after a few more seconds, the screens wake-up from standby for some unknown reason. I suspect gnome-screensaver as a potential culprit. Here is a snipped from gnome-screensaver debug: [gs_manager_set_lock_active] gs-manager.c:419 (18:33:48): Setting lock active: 1 [gs_window_raise] gs-window-x11.c:749 (18:33:55): Raising screensaver window [window_obscured_cb] gs-manager.c:1374 (18:33:55): Handling window obscured: obscured [gs_job_stop] gs-job.c:483 (18:33:55): stopping job [gs_job_died] gs-job.c:128 (18:33:55): Waiting on process 12028 [gs_job_died] gs-job.c:142 (18:33:55): Job died [window_obscured_cb] gs-manager.c:1374 (18:33:55): Handling window obscured: obscured [gs_job_stop] gs-job.c:483 (18:33:55): stopping job [gs_job_died] gs-job.c:128 (18:33:55): Waiting on process 12030 [gs_job_died] gs-job.c:142 (18:33:55): Job died [gs_window_xevent] gs-window-x11.c:813 (18:33:55): not raising our windows [listener_add_ref_entry] gs-listener-dbus.c:716 (18:33:58): adding throttler from Power screensaver for reason 'Display DPMS activated' on connection :1.24
After a "killall gnome-power-manager" the screens stay in standby mode. So I think that this more an gnome-power-manager issue as an gnome-screensaver related one.
