I posted this a few days ago but haven't had any takers. Do I have to subscribe to another, gdm, list? Now I find that if I let the screensaver and then power management kick in, when I try to wake the computer up again, I get a very brief text screen that says something about starting the disks but it's too quick to read, and then nothing. I can't Ctrl-Alt-F1 and my only option is to reboot via the power switch. The pm-suspend.log shows that the computer did wake up OK.

I was suprised to find that this did not work. Is this because gdm doesn't have a login shell? I tried adding my group to a different user, logging on as that user and then writing to the gnome-screensaver directory and had no problems. > > How else can I get this to work? > > This is on a fully up-to-date F8 system. > > Thanks, > Steve -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
