Package: xscreensaver
Version: 4.14-4
Severity: normal
Since upgrading to version 4.14 last week, I have not been able to change
my settings via xscreensaver-demo. This is the behaviour I have seen:
1. I start xscreensaver-demo, and change the blanking time to 5 minutes.
2. I quit xscreensaver-demo. ~/.xscreensaver is correct (set to 5 minutes)
3. The next time I open xscreensaver-demo, the blanking time in the GUI
is set to 1 minute. If I quit, it saves over the existing ~/.xscreensaver
config, changing the time from 5 minute to 1 minute, even though I simply
opened and then closed the program.
This same behaviour also happens with the dpmsStand* settings. It seems
as though the .xscreensaver file is being ignored, even though strace shows
that it is in fact being read:
stat64("/home/jdhildeb/.xscreensaver", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10874,
...}) = 0 open("/home/jdhildeb/.xscreensaver", O_RDONLY) = 4
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10874, ...}) = 0 fstat64(4,
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10874, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0xb7438000
read(4, "# XScreenSaver Preferences File\n"..., 4096) = 4096 read(4, "\t\t\t\t
\\n\\\n\t\t\t\tt3d -root\t\t\t\t "..., 4096) = 4096
brk(0) = 0x80dc000 brk(0x8119000)
= 0x8119000
brk(0) = 0x8119000 brk(0)
= 0x8119000
brk(0x80fd000) = 0x80fd000
brk(0) = 0x80fd000
read(4, "ot -mode grab\t\t\t \\n\\\n GL: \t\t"..., 4096) = 2682
mmap2(NULL, 253952, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0xb73b8000
brk(0) = 0x80fd000
I also tried moving the existing .xscreensaver file out of the way (in
case it was choking on something in the file from the previous version), but
the same behaviour persisted.
