By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description ThoMaus 2016-04-19 13:19:49 CDT 
The config:
* 34 minutes till screen-saver starts
* +1 minutes till screen lock kicks in
* 90 minutes till system-standby (suspend2RAM)

Observed behavior:
* screen locked after 15 minutes (and a few seconds, varying)
* system suspends to RAM after ~60 minutes

Expected behavior:
* do what was configured, §/%§)$&!

(I'm under more and more the impression that the whole screen+power-saving code is quite f***ed up and cannot be relied on ... -- actually a show-stopper IMHO)

Hi Thomas,
could you post a screenshot of tdepowersave settings and one for the tde screensaver settings in the TDE control center? 
I would like to try to simulate the bug and work on it.
By the way, is this for R14.1.x or for R14.0.3?
Thanks

The report is for the most current version available in the recommended repository for OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, i.e. R14.0.3.

If you can point me to a more leading edge repository I'll test more recent versions.

Cheers!

On debian R14.0.3, not using suspend2disk, everything else is working as expected.
There was something related to upower 0.99 and dbus interface. Not sure if that changed recently in debian.

I hope this helps
Comment 4 Michele Calgaro 2018-05-06 15:56:56 CDT 
TDEPowersave logic was pretty buggy before R14.0.4, especially the part regarding timers and action. Quite a bit of work went into it in bugs 2412, 2599, 2603 and 2632, especially bug 2603.
I have tried to replicate the problem again on buster/R14.1-dev, both using the exact settings provided in comment 2 and several other arbitrary settings. I have never run into any problem or unexpected actions after R14.0.4.

Since I believe the cause of the problem was fixed in bug 2603 and everything seems to be working fine, I am closing this bug.
Feel free to reopen it if you run into any problem, and in that case please provide a mean to reproduce it.
