No screen shield in gdm
Last modified: 2014-01-12 23:39:06 UTC
After updating to Fedora 20 (now beta), gdm does not start the screen shield after a while. It doesn't work in my workstation and it doesn't work in a virt machine I have just set up with Fedora 20 beta. As a result, my monitors don't go into power save mode after I log out. gdm is gdm-3.10.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64 If I check the hournal for errors I see this: $ journalctl _UID=42 -b <snip> gnome-session[1850]: (gnome-shell:2007): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: StatusChanged: TypeError: this._dialog.cancel is not a function gnome-session[1850]: ScreenShield<._maybeCancelDialog@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/screenShield.js:640 gnome-session[1850]: wrapper@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/lang.js:213 gnome-session[1850]: ScreenShield<._onStatusChanged@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/screenShield.js:816 gnome-session[1850]: wrapper@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/lang.js:213 gnome-session[1850]: ScreenShield<._init/<@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/screenShield.js:537 gnome-session[1850]: _emit@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/signals.js:124 gnome-session[1850]: _convertToNativeSignal@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/overrides/Gio.js:130 This was reported here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1027700, perhaps now gets more attention
I have just (re)checked that screen shield in login screen works in F19, with gdm 3.8.4.
No screen shield in Fedora Rawhide, with gdm-3.11.2 and gnome-shell-3.11.2
Is there a way to downgrade, because this problem is being ignored on the RedHat and Gnome side

There are a couple of fixes on the 3-10 branch, so I'll roll a new stable tarball at some point the next couple of days. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 719378 ***
