current VM screen lock comes on too soon #80

Closed DANAJK closed 6 years ago

DANAJK commented 6 years ago

Screen lock comes on too soon and sirfuser does not appear to have permission to change time to lock.

KrisThielemans commented 6 years ago

typing the following in the terminal disables it

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false

@paskino, can this be added at creation time?

KrisThielemans commented 6 years ago

actually, what the above does is make sure you don't have to type the password. the screensaver still comes on. could just increase the delay I guess.

paskino commented 6 years ago

By the way, I'm quite surprised this is an issue at all. Maybe I forgot to run first_run.sh?

KrisThielemans commented 6 years ago

not sure how we could check if you ran it. would this explain #78?

paskino commented 6 years ago

Possibly. I'll do that now and upload again. When you do too many things together...

KrisThielemans commented 6 years ago

not sure if it's worth uploading now? There's a few other VM issues that need sorting out as well. Depends on how much effort this is for you.

paskino commented 6 years ago

One obvious way to check if I run it, is to see if the cursor is large. It is large in my VM. So I've run the first_run.py script.

KrisThielemans commented 6 years ago

yup. large in mine as well. Also a bunch of portuguese etc languages installed (but not UK English). I guess you'll have to create a new one from scratch and just check it yourself (did you put the virtualbox (attempted) fixes in?)

KrisThielemans commented 6 years ago

running update_VGA.sh myself seems to have fixed my VM. I've rebooted it about 6 times without trouble. hard to be sure of course.

can others please try the new VM, run updateVGA.sh and then use it for a while, restart etc. We could just tell users to run update_VGA.sh after installation.
