Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Running both kde3 and kde4 opensuse11 - Lenovo R61e Celeron kde3.5.10 kde4.1.2 kde3 suspend on close lid - locks the screen, requires password on resume. kde4 suspend on close lid - DOES NOT LOCK SCREEN Lock screen from desktop buttons works fine. The issue then is not it seems with kpowersave but with kde4??
I confirm this on openSuSE 11, KDE 4.1.2 IMHO the main problem is that currently there is no KDE4 version of kpowersave, but I'm sure devs are working on it already. (I hope so :)
Confirmed on Fedora Rawhide (kpowersave-0.7.3-3.fc9.i386, kdelibs-4.1.2-5.fc10.i386). I believe the reason is that KDE 4 is not using KScreensaver (or any of the other options in "Configure KPowerSave"/"General Settings"/"Lock screen"/"Lock screen with"). When I lock my KDE 4 desktop, it seems that the following command is used: /usr/libexec/kde4/krunner_lock --forcelock So, I believe this should be a quick fix - just add "KDE4 lock" or something to the list of lock commands. Alternatively, change whatever script "KScreenSaver" is pointing to.
Moved to a more meaningful place
I'd say it is invalid, since this bug is related to KPowersave, and not powerdevil. Please use it, and your screen lock will be back
Yes. But. I just moved on to Beta 4.2 Powerdevil is not packaged there yet. It was removed during upgrade and is not in the repo for my distro, OpenSuse 11.0
