Lock screen Gome

Hi everyone. I have a small problem.

I don’t know if it was or after the last update, I just noticed.
When my computer locks, I enter my password, the computer unlocks, and I see my desktop with all my open apps, and then bam, it locks again.
May be an issue with suspend/resume actions
Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

@Simon63r Hi you might need to look through the logs to see what is occurring. I don’t use it here with Nvidia, but tested on Intel UHD and Intel ARC and it’s fine (super+L).

Here is a similar topic.

So is this a dual gpu setup? If you stop the service and test, what happens, systemctl stop nvidia-powerd.service.

It’s disable here…

Yes intel and nvidia
I’ll be watching.

Can you show the output from inxi -GSaz and are you running the open driver?

nvidia-powerd is enabled by default here, but not supported by SBIOS (?) and so exited; nvidia-suspend and nvidia-resume work as expected (on dual graphics Intel+Nvidia).
Disabling nvidia-powerd looks worth a shot, indeed.

As I understand it, this is a bug in Nvidia and systemd.

Hi All.
So, this bug seems to have been fixed today in Fedora 43.
Can anyone tell me when I can expect a fix for this?
This error is really annoying.
Merci.

I’ve asked the GNOME folks about it, I’m busy today else I’d look at it. Normally one should check openSUSE bug reports.

@Simon63r GNOME 50 is almost out, that gsd version is already in staging, so it will be out in few weeks, so no backporting will be done.

Thank you. Then I’ll wait.
