GNOME lock screen lag

Hiya.
In the GNOME lock screen, I get a tiny lag (~1 second) while rolling the lock wallpaper up (not sure how you call it). It goes nice & smooth, and then, just before it's about to disappear, it lags for a moment, so I see about a quarter of it. Then it unlags and I can start typing.
Has anybody experienced this too, or is it just my one-core saying GNOME's too heavy for it?

I ran Gnome on a single core with a crappy 258MB graphics card and it felt sluggish. It's resource intensive if you compare it to other DEs. With 4 cores and an SSD, it's much smoother :-)

  • Lock Screen lag.

    Since the Portico update, I've noticed a delay (about 1 sec) between pressing the power button and the screen actually turning on. I've pinned the culprit down to Automatic Brightness, but turning it off also seems to disable the sunlight overboost which I've found handy. Already tried the "power on in dark place" trick just in case, didn't work. Anyone got any ideas?

    Forgot to mention, have tried an experiment whereby the ambient light sensor was directly in front of a strong light source to fool it into thinking it was a sunlight situation. Noticed wallpaper actually (barely) appeared immediately at very low screen brightness if the button was pressed, with there being the 1sec delay before it started boosting to maximum brightness.

  • So after updating my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3.1 i noticed a lag everytime i turn it back on. it stays on the lock screen for minutes sometimes hours. the screen is usually unresponsive the only things usually changing are the time and battery percentage.

    so aafter upsating my touch to 4.3.1 i have noticed everytime i restart the ipod there is a huge lag at the lock screen. the screen only updates itself every three to five minutes only updating the time and battery status. i cannot do anything, usually it will stay like this for minutes sometimes hours. i have tried restoring it and thought updating will fix the problem but it hasn't yet. i currently have ios 4.3.3. recently i had a friend look into the ipod and he told me on a folder called damaged files he found this, 37c3ad com.apple.autowake.plist. how can i fix this?

    Try a manual install following directions in link below.

  • Lock screen in gnome 3.2

    Before the upgrade the upgrade to gnome 3.2 the following feature was working ok: whenever the laptop lid is closed the system suspends to RAM, whenever the laptop lid is opened up, the system resumes and the screen is locked. The screen lock feature was only enabled after
    gsettings set org.gnome.power-manager lock-use-screensaver 'false'
    (as per wiki instructions)
    After the upgrade to gnome 3.2, the lock screen feature is not available anymore. I have checked the keys available in  org.gnome.power-manager and lock-use-screensaver does no appear anymore. As a matter of fact, lock-use-screensaver does not appear anywhere. This means that either something has gone wrong with my update, or this feature has been removed in the new gnome version. Anyone else observes the same?

    There is a switch in >System Settings > Screen
    Is that not sufficient?

  • GNOME 3.2.1 login promt from the lock screen is ugly.

    The lock screen doesn't look nice... have i miss configured something?
    What i mean is that i don't get something like the nice login screen from GDM ... but i get a password promt similar to the old style GDM....
    Any ideas? is that the expected behaviour?
    Thanks!
    Juan.

    It's the expected behaviour, but there is an upstream task to change this: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/ … ScreenLock

  • Lock screen on GNOME 3 [solved]

    Hello,
    Since a few days, I'm not able to lock my screen (ctrl+l, menu > lock-screen, after suspend).
    Any idea ?
    Thank you

    Yes, it doesn't work.
    Screen lock only works when you suspend through GNOME's status menu. If you suspend or hibernate using the power button, your screen is not locked after resume. The problem is a configuration failure in dconf.
    For me it is never locked.
    Except lock-use-screensaver, all the configurations lock-* are at true. Is it correct ?

  • [SOLVED] gnome-screensaver bug? unintended lock screen behaviour

    Everytime I close my laptop lid, the screen locks. I am fine with this EXCEPT when I am using two screens. I watch movies with my laptop and I like to close the lid because it blocks my reciever from getting the signal from my remote to change the volume. With gnome 3.4, I have not been able to do this unless I disable lock screen completely.

    As you can see in the middle of this code block that closing the lid is supposed to do nothing but that is not the case. What I want is for the screen to lock when I close my laptop lid only if there is one screen or not at all. I could disable the lock screen completely through gsettings but that is not what I want either. Any help would be much appreciated and no I do not want to use xscreensaver

    bump. any ideas. has this bug already been reported?
    Edit: Found a way to fix this. Go into brightness and screen, then change lock off when screen turns blank. So basically, changing laptop lid close in gnome tweak tool or in gsettings to nothing doesn't matter since in the brightness and lock, the setting is to lock screen whenever it is turned off and obviously the screen is turned off since closing the lid does on just about every laptop. Marking as solved.

  • Gnome 2.24 lock screen

    Is there a way to change the background image for gnome-screensaver lock screen?

    Just change /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome/background-default.jpg to anything else, say a black bg.
    Good luck!

  • Time lag for lock screen notification sound

    My iPhone 4 (up to date) will typically flash new emails on the lock screen and then vibrate (or play a sound) about a minute later. I know this isn't a big deal, but it's frustrating, since I typically assume the vibration/sound is a new item, so I pick up the iPhone and re-check.
    Is this normal behavior?
    Thanks!

    Went to the Genius Bar and found out what the issue was. I had a few email accounts (two gmail and one godaddy related account). Apparently, gmail doesn't do push, so when iToys went to fetch, it does one gmail account, then the next and waits until it's done to make the vibration/sound. Eliminating the other accounts (I rarely use them anyway) cleared the problem.

  • [SOLVED] KDE Plasma 5 | Lock Screen Issues

    Everytime my computer locks - whether it be manually or automaticly, I get this lock menu with 3 options. The first option has my username and my avatar, which prompts me for my password. Everytime I type in the correct password, the screen turns black and then reloads the lock screen. Which makes it impossible for me to log back into my session leaving me unable to leave my computer on ever. I can create a new Session from the same menu but when ever I do create a new Session after being locked out, not a single app will launch. And I know I am putting in the correct password because when I purposly put in an incorrect password; the screen doesn't turn black, it just gives me a diffrent prompt. Another issue I am facing with KDE at the moment is about 80% of the time when I shut down my computer, I get a crash report from most of the applications running, for expamle kwin. I'm only saying this incase it is relevant, it is annoying but at least it doesn't prevent me from getting work done. Also, I used KDE's suggested SDDM for login.

    Oh, that really sucks, I like to use Arch for gaming on Linux so i dont think either of those sound preferable, but I think I will just try to downgrade nvidia then. Gnome atcually has worse issues with the latest nvidia drivers which sucks as well. Thank you for finding this.

  • Screen lag when plugged for power- since new updates came out..

    I am having some issues with screen lag-locked up screen- not moving screen, since last updates. If I pull out the power plug, it works good , screen moves fast. does anyone have same issue or solution for this issue???
    CAN someone help?

    Try a different wall charger. I was having a similar situation where the phone wouldn't respond to my touch while plugged in when I was using a different transformer plug with my original usb cable. It wasn't until I found my original transformer plug. I never saw the issue with the car charger or an I-Go wall charger.

  • Xfce: No lock screen and unclean filesystem due to hibernate

    Two issues.
    I have Arch running with Xfce on a netbook and I've been having all sorts of trouble with Xfce Power Manager. At first, it seemed like it wouldn't obey my settings because my screen would blank after 10 minutes regardless, but then I found this workaround (reply #2) which seems to have taken care of that. My next problem is that when I resume from Suspend, there is no lock screen asking me for my password. I read around and saw that Xfce uses xscreensaver to lock the screen by default, but I don't have that installed, and I'd rather not if I don't have to. But this thread is four years old, so I was wondering if now there is a simpler solution to make Xfce Power Manager properly lock the screen.
    Second, Hibernate doesn't seem to work at all. It shuts down my computer as expected, but when I power it back up I see the POST, GRUB, and Arch starts to boot again. When udev starts to check for uevents, I get a slew of errors; something like
    Filesystem is NOT Clean
    Trans replayed: mountid42, transid 2214, desc 2505, len 10, commit 2516, next trans offset 2499 //There are about 20-40 of these each with different numbers, except for mountid.
    Replaying journal: Done.
    Reiserfs journal '/dev/sda7' in blocks [18..8211]: 19 transactions replayed
    The /dev/sda7 partition is where I put /var. I have my boot messages kept to tty1 but I can't scroll up far enough to capture all of the text. This doesn't happen when I boot normally. Suspend also works fine, other than not locking my screen and presenting me with a password dialogue upon resume.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for either or both issues?

    Regarding the lock screen, if you look at the script /usr/bin/xflock4, you can see that XFCE can use xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver, slock or xlock by default. Just install one of these and it should work fine.
    I personally use slimlock and just symlinked /usr/local/bin/xflock4 to slimlock, which then takes precedence.
    However, there is a bug in XFCE 4.8 that causes the screen not to be locked when you use the suspend button from the logout menu, which is supposed to be fixed with the 4.10 release. It works fine for me when I close my laptop lid though.
    see here:
    https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6019
    Thanks, slimlock works really well; it looks quite nice, too. It feels like half the time I have a problem there's already a script for it somewhere and it's just a matter of finding it.
    I'm still stumped on the hibernate issue, unfortunately.

    This is a known issue some are seeing after un-installing the beta for the new Live Lockscreen app.
    A solution for this is to simply enable Kid's Corner, use it, and then disable it again..

  • After IOS5 update on ipod 4G, unresponsive touchscreen after using assistive touch on lock screen

    Well, after i installed the IOS5 update on my ipod 4G, everything seemed fine. That was until i tried using the assistive touch feature on lock screen to do a double finger gesture. Then, my entire touchscreen just died. It didnt work and i had to use buttons (voice control) to play my songs... so lame ><
    Anyways this started as a question, but i found the solution... FACTORY RESTORE!!! but ok, just warning you guys dont try it. this is a bug i suppose that needs to be fixed. I
    If anyone else has this issue, then heres the solution again, restore your IOS.

    ok i cant replicate it so maybe it was only one time thing. BUT it still lags like crap when im on lock screen and i use the gestures.
