2008-09-26 19:36:51 Khashayar Naderehvandi description For some reason gnome-screensaver doesn't start. The screen starts fading out but then immediately returns me to the desktop. This is true when the screensaver should be activated automatically, as well as when I manually run gnome-screensaver-command -a. I have attached the output of gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug.

2008-09-26 20:06:11 Chris Coulson gnome-screensaver: statusexplanation Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. This looks like a D-BUS policy issue with ConsoleKit, so I'm reassigning it. Could you please attach your /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf file to this bug report? Thanks

Thanks Thanks for the information. As suspected, the D-BUS policy is blocking the SetIdleHint method.

I unsubscribed -sponsors, since it seems there is nothing to sponsor after all. Instead I mark this as invalid, since the real bug is discussed in bug 278812. Please shout if there is still a problem with ConsoleKit.
