Description Bjarne Thomsen 2014-09-12 11:08:35 CEST

Description of problem: The story is somewhat involved:
I had disabled the screensaver, when I discovered that I could not unlock i by my password. Later I enabled locking of the screensaver in MATE Preferences. I then discovered that I was unable to enter Screensaver in MATE Preference:
VirtualBox simply crashed! I had to reboot Mageia5 into MATE.
Then I waited for 5 min and the screen went frozen black.
I had to close the virtual machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

There is a simpler way: Click on Lock in the MATE system menu.
Locking works in KDE4.

Duplicate of Bug 12230?

Comment 3 Bjarne Thomsen 2014-09-12 17:44:49 CEST

Maybe, but it apparently changed after update of x11-server.
Now the unluck screen appears.
But it claims that my password is incorrect.
This is not the case.
I still have to close the virtual machine.

Comment 4 Bjarne Thomsen 2014-09-12 19:09:00 CEST

Actually, a click on the preferencis menu for the screensaver still produces a black screen. The same happens if it locks by hitting the time limit.

Comment 5 Bjarne Thomsen 2014-09-12 19:32:34 CEST

I see that there are installed xscreensaver components for KDE4, and then there is mate-screensaver. Is there possibly a conflict between the 2 components?

Comment 6 Bjarne Thomsen 2014-09-13 11:51:26 CEST

Very strange: Now, entering the preference window for Screensaver in MATE produces a black rectangle in the middle of the screen, and it persists even when I log into KDE4.

Comment 7 Bjarne Thomsen 2014-09-13 16:47:15 CEST

That was much better! The Cosmos theme and some other themes are now circling in the screensaver of MATE. There is only one problem left: It cannot verify my user bassword, so I cannot unlock the screen.

Comment 8 Bjarne Thomsen 2014-09-13 22:57:50 CEST

The user cannot unlock the Xfce screensaver either.

Comment 9 David Walser 2014-10-08 01:15:55 CEST

Other than not being able to unlock (Bug 14194), is this fixed?

Comment 10 Bjarne Thomsen 2014-10-08 07:45:48 CEST

Yes, the screensaver works fine until I try to unlock it with my password.
It claims that my password is incorrect, and I cannot get out.
