[Bug 1625441] Re: KDE screen lock intermittent
I have a hack workaround working I think. I call a script every minute from a cron job that does something like this: #!/bin/bash export DISPLAY=:0 if [ `xprintidle` -gt 24 ];then . ~/.Xdbus qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock fi The for info about .Xdbus, see: https://github.com/Jach/cycle_gnome_background -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625441 Title: KDE screen lock intermittent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kscreenlocker/+bug/1625441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1625441] Re: KDE screen lock intermittent
I don't have the scripts set up yet, but I think using these calls might work: # prints idle time in msec xprintidle # locks screen qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock But of course this is a workaround for a broken screensaver. This bug still should be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625441 Title: KDE screen lock intermittent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kscreenlocker/+bug/1625441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1625441] Re: KDE screen lock intermittent
This bug was reported 2.5 years ago and was confirmed. I need a fix or a workaround. One of my contracts is charging the US government and they require 6 minute time charging. When the screensaver doesn't come on and I'm on a desktop associated with a government contract, I'm logging hours... if I don't go back and fix that, I'm actually breaking the law. Is somebody going to look at this or do I need to research workarounds (eg, detecting recent keyboard/mouse interaction and updating my hour logging scripts to use that instead of the screensaver). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625441 Title: KDE screen lock intermittent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kscreenlocker/+bug/1625441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, just chiming in to upvote this bug. I'm relying on this feature to work at work and just this today a coworker found my desktop unlocked.

Re: [Bug 1625441] Re: KDE screen lock intermittent
It's either a bug or a poorly documented feature, so I think it should be pursued. If the screensaver is configured to turn off after a certain period, it should turn off after that period unless one opts out for things like watching movies in a browser.

Yes, it's still a problem in Ubuntu 18.04.

Hello David, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the KDE screenlocker. You made this bug report in 2016 and there have been several versions of Kubuntu since then. Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you let us know and run the following (only once): apport-collect 1625441 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Kubuntu better.

[Bug 1625441] Re: KDE screen lock intermittent
I've been able to correlate this problem with having chromium-browser open to certain web pages (not completely consistent in reproducing the problem, but once reproduced, I can always make the problem go away by closing that chromium-browser tab). I can reproduce the problem most of the time by opening this web page from chromium-browser and then scrolling up and down the page a few times: http://www.opposingviews.com/i/health/tennessee-doctor-vaccines-can- cause-autism I assume the problem is related to one of the ads, so this site may not continue to cause the problem as the ads change over time. In a few attempts, I was unable to reproduce this behavior with firefox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625441 Title: KDE screen lock intermittent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kscreenlocker/+bug/1625441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode. To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1625441/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
