in iso Mageia-5-dual-DVD 1 april 2015

screen locker activates immediately after subsequent logins also
Comment 3 Ben McMonagle 2015-04-18 07:27:04 CEST
valid Mageia-5-dual-DVD 15 april 2015
Comment 4 Samuel Verschelde 2015-04-18 23:07:33 CEST
Just to be sure: this happens at first login after installation, at first login after a reboot, or at every login?

Comment 5 Ben McMonagle 2015-04-19 01:50:07 CEST
usually, I only do the one boot up after install, test the system, and replace the entire system with the next DE.
so I am confident that  the issue absolutely occurs on the first login after install.
today, from i586 CI, both lxde and xfce, however, the issue did not present.
yesterday, from dual, xfce, it did.

I can't reproduce with the final Mageia 5 RC, classical x86_64 DVD, installing LXDE. Both the first and subsequent reboots are just fine, I don't get the screen locker.

I've tested both with and without autologin, no issue.

Comment 7 Anne Nicolas 2015-04-30 21:23:59 CEST
Can we have one more test report about it? at least to decrease or close this bug
Comment 8 Anne Nicolas 2015-04-30 23:48:48 CEST
Tested it also using DVD 64 classical isos. 2 full installations, one with LXDE, one with XFCE. No problem at all with screensaver.
Comment 9 Rémi Verschelde 2015-05-01 08:48:45 CEST
Decreasing priority until we can confirm that it's still reproducible, and under which circumstances.

Priority: release_blocker => High

Comment 10 claire robinson 2015-05-01 09:50:36 CEST
I experienced this with lxde during RC testng
Comment 11 Ben McMonagle 2015-05-21 12:40:00 CEST
It is very intermittant, in that a re-install from the same media may not exhibit the problem.
Comment 12 Ben McMonagle 2015-05-21 12:43:41 CEST
occurred today from Mageia-5-dual-DVD, installed from DVD
Comment 13 Nicolas Salguero 2015-05-27 10:58:23 CEST
I have updated the errata https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_5_Errata#LXDE concerning this problem.

Comment 14 Alex Loginov 2015-09-21 15:56:09 CEST
I confirm this issue for LXDE first start (xscreensaver-5.29-6.mga5).
xscreensaver asks password, but option "Lock Screen After" is not checked.
It's OK if xscreensaver starts, but not OK if asks password against own settings.

Comment 15 Alex Loginov 2015-09-21 17:48:55 CEST
It will be more right:

xscreensaver the first start:
- option "Lock Screen After" is enabled by default with 10 minutes, but timer works wrong and screen locks immediately (without 10 min).

xscreensaver the second start:
- option "Lock Screen After" is enabled, but does not work - password does not prompted.

Maybe workaround: disable option "Lock Screen After" by default. This option works randomly and user have no time to change it if it enabled by default.

Comment 16 Nicolas Salguero 2015-09-22 11:18:46 CEST
Hi,

The package xscreensaver-5.29-6.2.mga5 in core/updates_testing disables option "Lock Screen After" by default.

Could you test it, please, to see if the problem is solved?

Moreover is this bug also occur with Cauldron version of xscreensaver?

Best regards,

Nico.
Comment 17 David Walser 2015-09-22 14:38:51 CEST
If the problem does persist in Cauldron, we should let upstream know.  This option is enabled for what seem to be obvious reasons, so it wouldn't be great if we had to disable it.
Comment 18 Nicolas Salguero 2015-09-22 17:04:04 CEST
The main problem is that I cannot easily reproduce the bug: I only saw the "immediate lock after first log in" bug once (in a Virtualbox VM) but I have never been able to trigger it again, neither in a Virtualbox VM nor in real hardware (tested on several machines).
Comment 19 Alex Loginov 2015-09-25 20:26:08 CEST
This bug is not reproducible in Virtualbox in my tests. That's why you cannot reproduce. But I can reproduce it always in my real system. I don't know reason: drivers, hardware, something else.

The package xscreensaver-5.29-6.2.mga5 in core/updates_testing fixes this issue: screensaver starts, but screen does not lock.
Comment 20 Nicolas Salguero 2015-10-01 10:02:54 CEST
Alex, what is happening if you manually re-enable screen locking after the first time you log in? Does the problem reappear if you log out and then log in? And if you reboot or power off and then power on?

Could you also try to enable debug mode (with option -verbose in command line or by setting verbose to True in configuration file) to see what xscreensaver tells us?

The only hypothesis I have for the moment is a problem with a NTP client which would correct computer time when you log in.
Comment 21 Nicolas Salguero 2015-10-26 11:24:55 CET
I have made available version 5.34 in core/updates_testing for Mga5 because of bug 17012.

Does that version also corrects the "immediate lock after first log in" problem?

If not, I will have to talk about that problem with upstream.

Hi,

I have made available version 5.35 in core/updates_testing for Mga5 and Cauldron (and in tainted/updates_testing for Cauldron too).

Does that version corrects the "immediate lock after first log in" problem?

Best regards,

Nico.
Comment 24 Nicolas Salguero 2016-05-26 15:10:14 CEST
Hi,

In fact, the version 5.35 is in core/release for Cauldron.

Best regards,

Nico.

Hi Nico,

in a virtual box, no.  :(

I would not normally test in a virtual box, but I am unable to check on real hardware at the moment

There is no such behaviour for x86_64 xfce; it works normally with latest classical iso - last sync an hour ago.  I've not tested i586

It looks like it's fixed, then. Great. Please reopen if it occurs again to someone in the near future.
