Description Jerome Quelin 2012-01-05 09:19:48 CET
1. pick a screensaver in kde
2. run a movie or do whatever that updates the screen without typing / moving mouse
3. wait for screensaver delay to time up
4. see screen stopped from being refreshed, instead of screensaver to appear

note that the same thing happens whether kwin effects are enabled or not.

Comment 2 John Balcaen 2012-01-05 14:54:30 CET
Could you test with rc2 when it will be available ?
What is the movie player used for this ?
Do you have any useful logs from ~/.xsession-errors (with kdebugdialog set correctly) ?
Also in a general way it seems to be more an upstream bug against kde-workspace.

Comment 3 Jerome Quelin 2012-01-05 15:02:09 CET
i'll test with rc2. note that it's not new, it is happening since quite some time - i just got fed up with it enough to report a bug. :-)

movie player was vlc. but it's not really relevant, even if i'm not using a movie player, screen stops from being refreshed (eg, the clock at the bottom right corner).
Comment 4 John Balcaen 2012-01-05 15:17:27 CET
ok.
did you try to change the default screensaver ?
Comment 5 Jerome Quelin 2012-01-05 16:37:24 CET
yes, screen saver was changed to "flying things"
what should i enable in kdebugdialog before pasting .xsession-errors?
Comment 6 Jerome Quelin 2012-01-10 13:59:08 CET
i can reproduce with rc2.
Comment 7 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-12 10:06:05 CEST
Trying to ping 41 bug reports in one move, because nothing has happened with them for more than 3 months, they still have the status NEW or REOPENED, there is no "OK" on the Whiteboard and severity and priority are "normal" or higher.

Is this one still valid for Mageia 2 rc?

If it is and you're the assignee, please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.
If it wasn't assigned correctly, please assign back to Bug Squad and explain.
Comment 8 Jerome Quelin 2012-05-12 10:15:02 CEST
still valid.
Comment 9 John Balcaen 2012-05-12 12:02:16 CEST
Are you able to reproduce with a fresh user ?
Do you have anythings useful in logs ?
Comment 10 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-26 13:05:29 CEST
Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
