Hello, first off I hope I got into the right list for that subject. If not please direct me to a more appropriate place to ask.
I'm trying to remote control a running Fedora 20 desktop with SSH. I duplicate the environment of the active session which gives me ready access to DBus and the X display. Logging out and shutting down works great so far, but I'm having trouble with the "Lock Screen": I'm trying to use the gnome.SessionManager Interface and gnome.ScreenSaver interfaces to bring the box out of the LockScreen (the user has no password, so it usually returns when you just move the mouse) and prevent it from going there in the first place. As far as I can tell, the gnome.ScreenSaver.SetActive works well, as far as the lockscreen is concerned. The problem is, that when the LockScreen is activated, the monitor blanks out, but it doesn't reactivate when the LockScreen is deactivated. So as far as I can tell (without seeing it), the LockScreen disappears and the user is returned to the desktop, but the monitor remains black when I issue gnome.ScreenSaver.SetActive boolean:false over dbus-send. Is that a bug or am I misunderstand the issue? A second issue is that I seem not to be able to Inherit the Screensaver, either. There is said to be an Inherit Method https://people.gnome.org/~mccann/gnome-screensaver/docs/gnome-screensaver.html but not in the current Fedora. Instead, I have an Inherit method on the gnome.SessionManager interface. When I call it according to https://people.gnome.org/~mccann/gnome-session/docs/gnome-session.html with flags 12 (say), it actually returns me a uint32 cookie, but when I check "GetInhibitors" afterwards, I only get an empty array. Also, I don't see any effect. If you have any hints on what other DBus Interfaces I should look into to remote control the Gnome desktop, I'd be glad to hear about that, too. Thanks! _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
