SRU Request: Impact: On Lucid and Maverick, gnome-screensaver has a race condition that makes it start twice from time to time, resulting in a poor user experience.
The bug has been addressed by adding a patch that makes sure gnome- screensaver can only be run once, and that when spawned as a Dbus service, it isn't run as a daemon. This upload also contains a second reliability patch to prevent problems when it is started before gnome- session. See attached debdiff. How to test: 1- Log into system 2- Make sure gnome-screensaver isn't running twice 3- Wait for screensaver default timeout, make sure screen gets locked 4- Start Totem, play a video longer than default timeout. Make sure screensaver doesn't start while video is playing. 5- Close Totem. Wait default timeout again, make sure screensaver comes up. 6- Kill gnome-screensaver process. Select Lock Screen from indicator applet session menu. Make sure screen gets locked. Make sure gnome-screensaver is only running once. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556255 Title: [SRU] unlock screen -dialog comes up twice -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
