[Solved] Screen locker freezes display

I have been using xautolock (2.2-2) with a locker (recently switched to i3lock) for a couple of years now, with no complaints. Over the last week or so, probably related to Xorg updates (currently on 1.11.2-2), whenever slock was activated by xautolock, the entire display would freeze.
Entering my password had no effect, I couldn't switch to console - the only way to recover the machine was SSH in and reboot.
Frustratingly, there was nothing in Xorg logs, syslogs or dmesg.
I switched back to slock (0.9.6) and the same thing happened. Swapping xautolock out for sinac fixed the issue.
While I am happy enough with sinac, has anyone else experienced this? If it's a bug, I'd like corroboration so I can report it.

It seems I was too qucik to blame xautolock. Same issue with sinac -- which leads me to believe it is graphics card/driver related.
Card is an Intel 945GME and the driver is the standard xf86-video-intel. Downgrading to 2.16.0-1 seems to have staved it off for the time being...

Touch screen locks/freezes

I have just purchased a i touch and the screen locks and i have to use back button or even the power off to gain control again, some times the screen freezes for a few seconds and then works, i have checked for updates (all good). Also can you re-calibrate the touch screen.
Thank you in advance

K900 clock screensaver - screen lock time display

Hi guys
Can't figure out how to get the time display or a clock as a screen saver or when the screen is locked. I have enabled the screensaver for when it is charging but that obviously only works while it is charging!
Any Ideas?

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

Windows 8.1 Screen Locking at Display Turn Off (instead of only at Sleep)

Hi All,
I am having this issue with clients running Windows 8.1 Enterprise, which we are planning to deploy later on this summer.
We currently have a GPO setup for managing the power settings on our staff computers:
This GPO sets computers to sleep after 1 hour, but turn off the monitor after 5 minutes of inactivity
On our Windows 7 systems, the policy applies correctly and if our staff uses their computer before 60 minutes of inactvity (before they go to sleep),
the screens will just turn back on without prompting for login.
I have noticed however on our Windows 8.1 test computers, in the same OU, which receive this policy, that after 5 minutes when the screen goes off, if a staff member attempts to use their computer they will be prompted for a password even though the
unit was not in sleep mode.
Further more, I've noticed that on the Windows 8.1 Systems, I am able to override the "Require a Password on Wakeup" setting using the metro interface, as pictured below (the setting does change in power options as seen below), and does stay in
the No setting even if I run gupdate and reboot.
Any idea how to keep the Require Password for waking up, but not just for computer with the screen powered down?
(I should also not screen savers are not being used)

Hi,
You can tried also set the item Sleep: After 60 min to see what's going on.
On my laptop, once I configure this, the display turns off without lock the computer.

[Solved] Screen bug after display sleep

Hi,
I have a Asus N55SF (Intel HD and Nvidia GT555M with Optimus).
When my screen wakes up after DPMS off (I mean only the screen suspend, not the system one), it's totally white, and I see leds becoming grey then black (like a cloud). Then it stays like this, the only way I found to make it working again is to put the computer in sleep mode and wake it up.
I can reproduce it, just waiting for the screen to turn off, or manually typing:
$ xset -display :0 dpms force off
I found a similar issue here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ost4501106
Any idea?

This seems to be fixed now. In the last update, kernel and drivers (and a lot of things) were updated, so I don't know which one fixed the bug...

DX650 - Disable Screen Lock

How can I disable the screen lock on the DX650 phone (CUCM 10.5)?
Users don't want to have to enter a PIN number to access the phone.
I have tried different settings of "Require Screen Lock" on the Device page, but no luck.
Thanks, Randy

On the device settings do the following changes:
Display On Time: Change it to your office starting time or a bit earlier
Display On Duration: Change it to the end time of your office or a bit extra
Require Screen Lock : Change it to User Controlled>Check the Override Common Settings
Uncheck the setting: Enforce Screen Lock During Display-On TIme >Check the Override Common Settings
Restart the phone.
Now in the setting of the Android OS you will get an option to make it None. Also you can set a pin and then do a manual lock as required by pressing the lock button on the phone,

E7 Screen Locking / Screen Freezing

My E7 is screen is freezing up after a phone call or just after general use. It keeps happening every day. I must force a power rebooot to get the phone working again. I have called Nokia and have exhusted every option which included reloading Bella.
PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING, CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME?
Last resort is Nokia want's me to send my phone to Texas for a tech to investagate the problem. I think there is some kind of software problem with the locking of the phone screen and the locking switch logic on the side of the phone. When the problem happens the sceen will not work to my touch. The sceen freezes without touching it.
I really like this phone when its working.
Stephen

When you reinstalled Belle did you/Nokia suite backup the phone & then, after reinstalling Belle, reinstall the backup as sometimes doing that can affect the phone due to there being apps on the on it which aren't compatable but are installed again with the backup, if this is the case & you didn't return to factory conditions & then run the Belle install you may want to try that but when reinstalling the backup just reinstall everything but applications & settings, you will then need to setup the phone from scratch & reinstall any apps from Nokia store.
If you send the phone anywhere they'd probably just reformat the phone & reinstall Belle anyway.
Hth,

If you wish to have slock start automatically after a certain idle time, you can use xautolock--also in the repos. Something like this in your .xinitrc (or autostart.sh) should do the trick:
xautolock -time 5 -locker slock -nowlocker slock -detectsleep -corners 000+ -cornerdelay 3 &
This will also lock the screen if you place the mouse cursor in the lower right corner for 3 seconds.

Screen Locking During Screen Share Access

When I access my iMac from another Mac using Screen Sharing my iMac system is then open for anyone walking by to access. Is there any way to use Screen Sharing for access and keeping the physical screen on the system being accessed locked? I know there are ways to do this using a third-party VNC, but that requres using a non-standard port for access. Is there some working-around for Screen Sharing, or perhaps some way to change the port that Screen Sharing is using (and if so, does this work?)???
Jim

I don't understand what you're asking here... about the screen locking during a call "over the time" set.
Could you please explain?

IOS 4.3 - screen locked during incoming call

Hello, all!
I have interresting problem after I update iOS 4.2 up to iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 4. Sometimes (1 time per each 10-20 times) when incoming call is received, ipone playing the ringtone, vibration is generated and I see on display usually information "incoming call from..." and slide button to receive call - then touch screen of iPhone becomes fully locked and I can not receive the call ! Hardware pushbuttons (power and volume control) still working, but display is fully locked! In this case it is only one way to answer the call - using bluetooth headset. Any other way and any other operations have no any effect - iPhone still playing rington and still waiting when I answer the call.
This situation occurs aproximately on every 10th or 20th incoming call - i.e. one or two times per each day. And, of cource, this is usually very important call that i can not answer because of this stupid situation.
The problem was detected after I update iOS 4.2 up to iOS 4.3 via iTunes.
So, please tell by wich way it is possible to fix this bug and where I have to send notification to solve this problem in the shortest time?
Thanks!

I'm experiencing what is I believe to be the same issue with my iPhone 4, and have been suffering in silence for about a week.
iPhone 4 model MC603X with Modem Firmware 04.10.01, 16Gb, cheap silicone cover, Vodafone NZ as my carrier.
My screen locks after 1 minute of inactivity as it should with my settings. Perhaps 1 call in 5, or 1 call in 10, the screen wakes up and displays called ID information etc correctly, but I cannot swipe to answer the call. The touch screen simply fails to respond.
If I push the power button briefly to silence the ringtone, this does not make a difference. The iPhone has to be locked (and screen turned off), then push a hardware button to wake up the display, and then I can swipe to unlock the device.
This is only since iOS 4.3 and unfortunately iOS 4.3.1 has not changed this behaviour.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Mike

X 1.11 vulnerability (screen lock inefficient)

quoted from http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q1/191
"I recently found out that it is possible to kill a screensaver/screen
locker program on the latest version of Xorg (1.11 shipped with
archlinux, debian wheezy..) using the Ctrl+Alt+Multiply key binding."
proposed workaround quoted from http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q1/197
"As a temporary solution, I've found that commenting lines 44-49 in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/xfree86 (actual location may vary for your
distro; mine is a debian system), which are
interpret XF86_Ungrab {
action = Private(type=0x86, data="Ungrab");
interpret XF86_ClearGrab {
action = Private(type=0x86, data="ClsGrb");
and running
"setxkbmap $(setxkbmap -query | grep layout | awk '{print $2}')"
solves the problem."
Note this is written for debian, but it worked on my Arch Linux too.

It's a simple dualhead setup. I don't really have links, when I read, that C-A-* does something weird, I thought hitting C-A-- and C-A-+ sounded like a good idea.
So, I have two monitors connected to my gfx-card. This is how my 10-monitor.conf looks.

EndSection
Now when I hit C-A-+, the left screen goes black and "both screens" reside on the right screen, as one big 3840*1080 plane, but I can only see a 1920*1080 portion. I can move the visible portion by moving the mouse towards the left and right edge. Hit C-A-+ again and it turns back to normal.
It seems to be called a "virtual screen": http://www.x.org/wiki/FAQVideoModes#Whe … _want_that

Screen lock on q10

There r times like when driving that it is a pain in a** to have screen lock after 5 min. Seems to be max setting can use. Anyone know how to turn off screen lock?

The max setting is five minutes.
How are you waking up the screen? Are you swiping the screen?
The easist method is to tap once quickly on the top edge power button.
