[Bug 859396] Re: gnome-screensaver locks after approx 10 minutes even if user settings are specify longer

 

Thank you for your bug report, what Ubuntu version do you use? That
issue seems similar to the one fixed with that upload:

gnome-desktop3 (3.2.0-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/00git_disable_dpms_timeouts.patch:
    - Disable DPMS timeouts (LP: #863038)

Do you still get the issue?

Title:
  gnome-screensaver locks after approx 10 minutes  even if user settings
  are specify longer

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After setting a screen lock timeout of, for example, 1 hour the screen
  still locks after approx 10 minutes.

  Looking at the code it appears gnome-screensaver puts an upper bound
  on the lock timeout of 480 seconds (8 minutes), so user preferences of
  1 hour will not function as expected.

  I see no reason for an upper bound of 8 minutes, and this contradicts
  the available options anyway.

  I have built a fixed version in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~andrew-
