light-locker does not save settings #99

Closed timrichardson closed 7 years ago

timrichardson commented 7 years ago

I have gnome 3.24 under ubuntu 17.04 I am using lightdm because gdm3 doesn't work with my Nvidia hardware. Gnome is not blanking my screen regardless of power saver settings so I want to use light-locker.

However, something is resetting my light-locker screen blank to "None". That is, I go to light-locker-settings, and choose 10 minutes for Blank Screen After. If I run this from the command prompt, I see a python error. None the less, if I exit the dialog and then start it again immediately, my setting is saved. However, if I open it a few minutes later, Blank Screen After is None. This happens all the time.

Below is the message I get when clicking Apply. Despite the message, the setting appears to save: if I exit and immediately restart, the setting is visible. After some time (< 5 minutes) it is back to None.

light-locker-settings is a separate project: https://launchpad.net/light-locker-settings It was developed when light-locker didn't have gsettings backend. I think light-locker-settings used xfconf to store the settings. I'm not sure it was updated when light-locker started using gsettings.

Oh, thanks. Didn't expect that!
