[Intrepid]: screen not locked after resume

[Gerd Bavendiek]

Binary package hint: pm-utils

Hi,

after resume pm-utils on Intrepid

lulu:/home/bav> dpkg -l | grep pm-utils
ii pm-utils 1.1.2.4-1ubuntu8 utilities and scripts for power management

do not lock the screen. This way everyone has immediately access to my desktop. Think of ~/Private, which is unencrypted after resume !!!

There is /etc/acpi/resume.d/90-xscreensaver.sh, but I did not find such a script in pm-utils. For the time being I hacked my own version, but I really think this should be addressed.

I'm running xfce, if that makes any difference.

BTW, 90-xscreensaver.sh does not care about gnome-screensaver.

In GNOME, gnome-power-manager takes care of locking the screen using
gnome-screenshot before calling pm-utils. If I'm not mistaken, it's the
same in the case of XFCE. Perhaps it's a misconfiguration on your part?
Please try with a clean home directory (perhaps temporarily create a new
user), and see if it works.

Either way, since pm-utils isn't what takes care of locking the screen,
I'm marking the pm-utils bug as invalid.

hyperair,

thanks for responding.

As you suggested, I tried using a "fresh" user - but nothing changed.

I than found bug #42052, a very old bug, which seems to be still alive in Intrepid - at least for xfce-users.

In Xfce4:
Additionally choose Power Management in Screensaver preferences and choose a way to suspend/hibernate.
You can not use the "Ask me" option in Power Management preferences like above (or you can, but it doesn't lock screen when you resume). Then use that way to suspend/hibernate. In summary: whenever you suspend/hibernate using the Quit dialog, screen will not be locked.

So from my point of view this is true.

So for the time being adding a script to /etc/pm/sleep.d is at least a solution for a real problem. It works for me
and my data is safe now.

If you give me further hints how to debug I'd really like to help to find the root cause though !

Thanks

Gerd

In that case does setting "When the suspend button is pressed" to
"Suspend" make it lock screen? By the way, the screen locking is done
before the suspend/hibernate process and not after.

For debugging instructions, do the same as in this post and attach the
resulting file:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/42052/comments/4

Also, may I see the script you're using in /etc/pm/sleep.d?

Sorry, I do not know where to set this. I did not find it in
gnome-screensaver-preferences nor in gnome-power-preferences.

I installed Jaunty for test purposes (this time using Gnome desktop, not
XFCE). Triggering suspend I can see gnome-screensaver being switched on
before suspending as you stated. Unfortunately resuming in Jaunty does
not work for me, but this is another story ...

I'd prefer PM for this.

Kind regards

It's in gnome-power-preferences. See the attached screenshot for
reference.

Sorry, I misunderstood your hint.

There is no difference between our configurations. If an xfce-user uses
the Quit-dialog, the screen will not be locked (this is what Jarno Suni
stated in #42052). If I change the action for power-button-is-pressed
from xfce-quit to suspend gnome-screensaver is run immediately (I have
no suspend button).

So you are right: pm-utils works fine.

My script is just a workaround to a bug in xfce (?) ...

Thanks for your time !

Gerd

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 9.04? Thanks in advance.
