Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources All the options for inactivity doesn't work. Instead of sleep or lock the screen, X sever start to use CPU on 100% until I move mouse. I don't know where can be the problem but kpowersave works without problem. This bug is not connected only to powerdevil, the same problem I have with guidance power manager. It doesn't work even with clean configuration. And sleeping when I click manualy on button works. I use xorg-server-1.5.2 and hal-0.5.11-r4, system gentoo.
Please run kded4 from command line and paste its output here when this situation happens.
When I run the kded4 the output is: X Error: XSyncBadAlarm 129 Extension: 131 (Uknown extension) Minor opcode: 11 (Unknown request) Resource id: 0x0 3 times but it appears only when I start it, later when the X start to use the CPU it not write anything, also in .xsession-errors is nothing
When I recompiled kdebase with debugfull, I get this X Error: XSyncBadAlarm 129 Extension: 131 (Uknown extension) Minor opcode: 11 (Unknown request) Resource id: 0x0 kded(19057) PowerDevilDaemon::poll: Polling started, idle time is 0 seconds kded(19057) PowerDevilDaemon::poll: Stopping timer nothing more, I have tested it on 2 more notebook, always the same problem,
Now it works a bit better, the function Lock Screen after some time work ok, but other still doesn't. There is not the problem with CPU usage of X-server. When it should be suspended, there appears the plasma notification about suspending in 30s and that is all, it is not doing anything. A few second after the notification the kded4 writes kded(1139) SuspensionLockHandler::releaseNotificationLock: Releasing notification lock kded(1139) PowerDevilDaemon::cleanUpTimer: Disconnecting signals
This is a bug in Plasma notification style. Your bug was a duplicate of the X hogging one, hence is solved. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 176932 ***
