F15: Lock Screen is not working...

[Marco Guazzone]

... neither through the gnome-shell menu nor via the keyboard shortcut
(Ctrl+Alt+L).
I've checked for display settings and screen lock seems to be enabled (it's ON).

Any idea?

Thank you very much!!

Best,

Hmmm I've just find out that gnome-screensaver is not running.
If I run it, the screen lock works.

I've tried to reboot but after log in, gnome-screensaver is not running again.

Very strange.

How can make gnome-screensaver to run at start-up?

Cheers,

Sorry, no help here. Just a remark that everything work here:
2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64
ps ax | grep screen
 1855 ?        Sl     0:00 gnome-screensaver

Thank you for the feedback.
Is there a place (like a conf file) where I can look?

With gconf-editor I see:

/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver
   start_screensaver: checked

/apps/totem/plugins/screensaver
   actuve: checked

/apps/gnome-screensaver:
   idle_activation_enabled: checked
   idle_delay: 1
   lock_enabled: unchecked
   mode: single
   themes: [screensavers-popsquares]

Cheers,

I have nothing of the mentioned above under apps folder in
gconf-editor. Is it upgrade or fresh install? Mine is all-stock
brand-new F15 installed from live-CD. I installed it a few weeks ago
when it still was a beta (or rc1? I don't remember exactly). I have no
additional repos installed.

Well... It is a mix.
For what regards packages and root partition, it is a fresh new F15
(release version) installed from DVD iso.
However for what regards /home partition, I'm using the one coming
from F14, F13 and F12
Till F14, I used to run OpenBox (without GNOME but only with
gnome-settings-daemon) and xscreensaver.

Thanks,
