This happens on xfce4-screensaver. The other screensaver that ran after killing xfce4-screensaver does not have this issue. What other screensaver is running? Any other DE installed as well? I am also on Fedora 34 and I have not seen this issue (so far). xscreensaver is the other screensaver that runs after killing xfce4-screensaver. /usr/bin/xflock4 shows how the session chooses the ss to run. I have gnome installed, sometimes I run a gnome or gnome-classic session. If I uninstall xfce4-screensaver the problem doesn't happen. okay, I wonder if two screensavers are running simultaneously. Can you check if gnome-screensaver is running when you are on Xfce? This happens only if I leave the computer alone, and wait until it locks the screen, rather than choose "lock screen" from the menu on the top right of xfce desktop. Something called gsd-screensaver-proxy is running. While xfce lock screen is hung up, and running in a different tty: ps awux|grep screen chris 3238 0.0 0.5 404652 21660 ?

If you upgraded from a f33 (or older), you may have xscreensaver installed by default. Can you please remove that and ensure it is not running? I expect gnome screensaver is not running under xfce ... hopefully. I had similar problem and a solution was to remove xscreensaver-base and dependent packages: ``` sudo dnf remove xscreensaver-base ``` Alternatively, if you prefer xscreensaver, then remove xfce4-screensaver package instead. But there can still be a problem if a computer has more than 1 user that prefer different screensavers. Maybe it should be possible to choose a screensaver application with "xfce4-mime-settings" (Default Applications). I have this same problem but I think it may be related to lxdm as well as to the screensavers. When I switch to lightdm this problem does not seem to occur. I am also having issues with the window with focus not being responsive after the screensaver is dismissed. Just disabling the screensavers, which I did yesterday, does not prevent the screen from locking. I disabled both xfce4-screensaver and the xscreensaver. I have removed all (there were three including the cinnamon-screensaver) screensavers. Display power management is still enabled. I will see if this circumvents the problem. Are we going to solve it or just offer workarounds? Should xfce4-screensaver installation just remove xscreensaver-base? It is possible, right? solution will be as listed here - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1957658 closing as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1957658 *** |
