[SOLVED] Xscreensaver-command -lock no longer working

As of yesterday afternoon (probably after the upgrade to 5.13-1), I have been unable to lock my monitor using xscreensaver. The screen fades to black, only to jump back to my desktop, and xscreensaver reporting a crash. I honestly can't see a reason from the log file, but I have little experience with programs like this. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could either confirm/let me know it's a bug that has no workaround, and I'll gladly report the bug.
Things I've tried:
Re-installing 5.13-1 (no change)
Restart of system & xscreensaver (no change in either case)
Downgrade to 5.12-2 (which works, as it did before)
The log file is as follows:

I have the issue as well.
Edit: For now, I've downgraded as well. I need this to work for security reasons.

Xscreensaver-command -lock suddenly doesnt work

the above gives this message
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0
it was ok yesterday ..
this didnt work:
$ xhost +localhost
$ xscreensaver-command -exit

Doesn't seem like the deamon is running no...
Put "xscreensaver -no-splash &" in ~/.xinitrc (before you start the wm) or in some other file that your wm uses for autostarting of apps.

[Solved] xscreensaver-command -lock not functioning

I've installed the xscreensaver-arch-logo package from the AUR and followed the wiki to get it up and running, although it returns this error
no screensaver running on display:0.0
Now I have included
xscreensaver -no-splash &
in my .xinitrc, which is where I start openbox. When I enter this command manually and then run the -lock command it works fine. So obviously its not being run from .xinitrc.. I have tried other variations
/usr/bin/xscreensaver -no-splash &
exec xscreensaver -no-splash &
neither work... I'm running the command after I run the exec command for openbox, if that makes any difference..
Anybody have any idea what is up?

OK... it is not running. That is showing you your grep command looking for it. Nothing is wrong with the package, but with the method you're using to start it.
Try this:
1)
% cp /etc/xdg/autostart/xscreensaver.desktop ~/.config/autostart
2) Logout and log back in.
3) Post the output of
ps aux | grep xscrensaver
I thought files in /etc/xdg/autostart are started by all users anyway?
Edit:
Also, I think that .desktop file is set to only run in Xfce

[SOLVED] ACPI handler.sh no longer working (Thinkpad X60 Tablet)

Hello there,
I recently did a few updates on my system to reduce power usage and get hdaps working. For some reason one of these changes must have broken ACPID in some way so that what I wrote in handler.sh no longer has any effect when I e.g. press the configured buttons to lock my screen or shut down, but I have no clue which.
I'm not really familiar with where ACPI and ACPID keeps all their logs either, and which parts in there might mean something for me. I don't even know how I can check if ACPI is running properly and just ACPID isn't, for instance (both are running thought, confirmed with ps -A).
Here's what I can remember of what I did:
-full system update
-install cpufreq to redcude power usage with acpi_cpufreq
-install HDAPS with Thinkpad driver, as described on the Wiki
-tweak my laptop-mode settings, e.g. disable VGA output when in laptop mode
-enable AHCI for my hard drive in kernel image and BIOS
Would be great if you could help me troubleshoot this somehow, as I really don't have a clue on how to fix this. Here's some output that might be helpful for starters:

Command-L no longer works

Command-L no longer works to select to address bar (or whatever it's called) in Safari. The key binding is still there, but the "Open Location …" command in the menu is grayed out and can't be selected.
I haven't done anything to change the key bindings. Anyone seen anything like this before?

Never mind. Fixed when Safari was restarted. Thought I had tried that, but apparently not.

[SOLVED] hdparm -S 241 no longer working

Sometime in the last month, hdparm has stopped spinning down defined HDD's. I have a total of three HDD's in my system. Al rotating media. Two of those HDD's I use for backup, and as such are not needed for most of the day.
In my rc.local I have:
hdparm -S 241 /dev/sdb
hdparm -S 241 /dev/sdc
Under the 2.6.27 series of kernels it worked, and now under the 2.6.38 series it no longer functions.
BUT...there has been a lot of updates since then as well so it may not be a kernel issue.
As a test, I rebooted my system, launched LXDE, launched nothing else except a terminal window. I made myself root, and issued the above commands manually and then I went away for an hour. The drives did not spindown as requested. The 241 parameter decodes to 30 minutes.
Does any one have any ideas what's up?
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Dave

Solved!
And an explanation is due......
Culprit = Thunar, the XFCE file manager.
About one month ago, I made a significant change to my system. When I learned that Gnome 2 (my DE) was not going to be maintained, and that Gnome 3 was going to be force-fed to all Gnome users, I wiped my system and performed a complete fresh install and went with LXDE.
I looked at Gnome 3 after it was released via a live OpenSuse CD. It's not at all what I want, and it broke to many desktop paradigms for me personally. This is not a good vs evil thing as many are portraying Gnome 3, well at least it's not in my mind.
It's about choice. I use Arch for my daily work. I'm nearly 60 years old. I have no interest in having my desktop look like a smartphone. So I looked at KDE and LXDE. KDE can be customized much more easily than LXDE, but again it's a little too "heavy" for my personal tastes.
In the end I went with LXDE. PcManFm does not have a tree view in the left-hand pane. Thunar does. So Thunar got the nod as my file manager of choice.
I have discovered with the assistance of 'iotop' that when you open Thunar, it goes out and refreshes itself (I suspect the dir tree) with regard to every mounted file system. And as my backups, sdb1 and sdc1 were mounted, they had a read event. Your suggestion of iotop documented this. Apparently Gnome 2's 'Nautilus' file manager does not do this, because under Gnome 2, the drives spun down in accordance with my hdparm settings in the /etc/rc.local file.
My personal solution is simple. I changed my /etc/fstab and added the noauto to the line for these two drives. They do not get mounted, and in tests, Thunar doesn't attempt to automount them (I did not install the volume addon), and I also turned off the mounting features in pcmanfm.
Problem solved. The drives no longer have read events everytime I open Thunar, and spin down as they should.
For others, a second solution would be to leave the /etc/fstab alone, and simply unmount the backup drive(s) when you know you will not be using them for a while.
'iotop' did the trick for me in identifying the problem.
Thank you sincerely for the assistance. I appreciate it!
Dave.....

[SOLVED] Default audio device no longer works after reboot

After today's reboot, the audio device no longer works. E.g., VLC says:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such file or directory.
This is the console log:
[0x1394138] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

[0x7fac41055118] main decoder error: failed to create audio output
The strange thing is that the sound card does in fact work; e.g. the sound test for "HDA Intel PCH", the first entry in my KDE Audio Settings, works. But the entry "default" does not and I suppose that is also the device that VLC is complaining about.
I've tried blacklisting the HDMI driver and switched to the other audio output modules in VLC. I've also checked I'm still member of the "audio" group.
Edit:
P.S. Solved this myself. I had a USB-to-MIDI adapter cable plugged in during boot, which seems to have been causing these problems. I suppose systemd thought it was a USB sound card? I was wondering why dmesg said something about USB sound when the computer doesn't have any USB sound devices. Hardware detection epic fail. Although I guess the cable counts as a MIDI device at least, so in a way it's correct.
So it looks like I'll always have to unplug the MIDI cable before rebooting.

[Solved] Suspend to RAM no longer works

Suspend to RAM when closing my laptop lid worked out the box for me since I put Arch on my Dell XPS 14. After doing a pacman -Su yesterday (where I noticed that the kernel was updated, but it might be something else) it no longer works. Running 'systemctl suspend' in the terminal does work. Do I have to update a config?
Last edited by skip (2014-04-01 19:48:23)

For anyone else that finds this, systemd 212 doesn't suspend with lid closed with or without external monitor for those using the Nvidia proprietary drivers. Nvidia doesn't provide the necessary information for systemd to know whether or not an external monitor is connected, and thus it plays it safe and doesn't suspend. This is explained nicely at the Freedesktop bug linked above, but I wanted to pass it along here for those that won't follow the link.
Sounds like they're leaning toward reversing the preference (dock/external display users will need to opt out of suspending with lid close) in future versions since non-dock/monitor users >> dock/monitor users.

[Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Hello,
I just did an update, (I didn't think it was a major one, I don't recall seeing graphics update, though I'm not sure how to confirm - is there a way to see recently updated packages in yaourt?) and after a brief issue with powertop that was solved by a restart (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179789 - it may be unrelated though) I found that when I restarted, KWin Crashed, and since then, my desktop effects are not working.
I have gone to the KDE Desktop Effects Settings Menu, and under the advanced menu, set the compositing type back to OpenGL 3.1, clicked apply, and confirmed that I wanted to try it even though it had evidently crashed Kwin. I then received a message stating "21 desktop effects could not be loaded". When I clicked details, a popup window said:
"For technical reasons it is not possible to determine all possible error causes.
Desktop effect system is not running."
For the record, I am on a Thinkpad X201 with intel graphics.
Any ideas?

Some Extra information:
I just tried a restart, that didn't work.
I then went back into effect settings, and saw that "enable effects at startup" was not checked. I also saw that under the advanced settings, Qt Graphics system was set to raster. Since I'm not sure which it was supposed to be on originally, but the current configuration wasn't working, I also set that to Native, and then clicked apply. KWin then crashed, here is the output:
Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Aborted

I think this was a pushed /etc/sudoers file that pacdiffviewer prompts you to replace with, maybe a month ago? If you were like me, you probably only added yourself being able to sudo. I don't have the old version, but I don't remember requiring the code I gave you... maybe they've changed something necessitating the new file. Anyway, happy times, my prompt turns red when I 'sudo -s'

[SOLVED] KWin keyboard shortcuts no longer working

My Kwin shortcuts (Maximize, tile-left, tile right) have stopped working since doing a pacman update yesterday. Any ideas on how to fix them? I am running Arch in a VirtualBox 4.3.10 VM.
EDIT: Never mind, the problem was resolved for whatever reason by today's gtk3 update.

Ignore the permissions messages, as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Here's the second way:
While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

Bug in 10: Command 2 no longer works

This is an annoying bug... I use command 2 for most video playback, as I find that playback at double resolution is a good viewing size on a large screen.
Command 2 has worked for years, and it still works when viewing video from within iTunes. Using the new Command + to slowly increment size is much more inconvenient.

I don't want to do either of those things...
This is a UI inconsistency - every other video playback utility (pro, QT9, VLC, iTunes, DVD player) uses command 2 for double size.

Command-C no longer works in some apps

All of a sudden command-c isn't copying! Choosing Copy from the Edit menu does work, but that's hardly convenient.
While this true in almost all apps (Pages, TextEdit, Excel, Outlook, etc.), in one, at least, (MarinerWrite) command-c does work! I've changed keyboards, but that doesn't help.
Anyone got any ideas?

just adding on to what SilverSkyRat wrote.
System Preferences -> Keyboard.
Then the "Shortcuts" tab, look for warning sign, yellow triangle, in the left pane.

[SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

After recent (since 9.7.2014) updates, the WLAN link stopped working for me - and I don't seem to be find a way to restore it. Thus, your wisdom is appreciated:
Setup/Background
- Device: Zotac ZBox IQ (http://www.zotac.com/products/mini-pcs/ … nt/10.html)
- Network device (2xGLAN): Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 (kernel module r8169 loads)
- Wifi (device missing, used to work as enp3s0 ??), should be intel chipset
- Wired connection works
- NetworkManager is in use
- Dmesg error: enp3s0 link is not ready
Tried so far
- Tested with older kernel 3.14.x -- no change
- Tested with kernel-lts -- no change
- Tested with older networkmanager -- no change
- Tested with fresh Arch media (latest.iso) -- device cannot be found
- Tested with older Arch media (1.4.2014.iso) -- device cannot be found
- Tried bringing up the link with command: ip link set dev enp3s0 up -- no change, no error
- Unloading r8169 removes the wired connection in networkmanager but not wireless, is that normal?
- Noticed also this link (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … OL_problem), but setup has no Windows
Any pointers? Had a similar problem sometime in the past (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=177793 -- different device), and then after some time and upgrades it just started working again.
Thanks in advance,
Juha
[EDIT 14.7]
Removed misleading reference: Noticed this post (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183601) and changed name in udev rules: enp03s0 -> wlp03s0 -- no change
[EDIT 16.7]
Added some details seen also later in thread

Sorry for missing your guidance ewaller, but you mean this?
Let's try again:

Apparently it requires dev parameter?
