Description Anders Aagaard 2009-02-15 10:50:50 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc-4.3.3 glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

If I have the screen saver on start automatically, and require password to stop, auto suspend when idle does not kick in.

Note that I have the screensaver on less time when auto suspend.

Comment 1 Anders Aagaard 2009-02-15 14:31:14 UTC

Another (more than likely related) issue, I had something preventing suspend on, after the suspend time it locked the screen (I have lock screen on resume on) and continued running as expected.

However, if I go display -> enable power management, and set suspend after 10 minutes there, 15 minutes in the power management settings, it will not lock the screen (and most likely not try to suspend either).

This is a bit of a logic problem for me, as I'm forced to disable the screensaver, in order to get suspend working, however, programs like media players, that should prevent the screen saver from coming on while playing, will most likely not prevent the "lock screen on resume", that will kick in, even if screensaver is blocked and CanSuspend is false.

Also after looking into this it seems like a powerdevil-daemon problem, not control::powermanager problem.  I can't change the component, but I'm adding the powerdevil-daemon assignee to cc.

I have a possibly related problem, on Kubuntu 9.10.  I have powerdevil configured to suspend when the lid is closed.  However, if I close the lid when the screensaver is active, the machine does not suspend.

I have the same problem on Kubuntu (now on 9.10, but noticed it before on 9.04, and possibly 8.10, but my memory isn't perfect). If I open the lid when the laptop is suspended, it resumes and asks for a password to unlock. If I don't unlock it and instead close the lid again, the computer will not suspend, even though powerdevil is instructed to suspend when closing the lid.

This forces me to first unlock then close the lid to get the desired effect.
