Screensaver freezes on display in Ubuntu Herd 5

Bug Description

I have the screensaver set to run after 3 minutes of inactivity.

When I come back to my machine after about an hour or so, the screensaver is frozen on the screen, i.e. not moving.

I believe that the Ubuntu session is still running and active because I can hear hard disk activity from my folding-at-home running.

I can not get display back, so I have to hit reset button on computer to restart the system.

I will do some more experimenting with it to see if I can narrow down the problem.

Do you need any further information in order to explore problem.

Thanks.

Hello and thank you for your bug report.

Which screensaver did you choose? Is this problem reproducible?

If it is can you please attach the file Xorg.0.log which is located in /var/lib/ and your xorg.conf please?

Best regards

Sorry, I did a mistake in the previous post: the file Xorg.0.log is located in /var/log.

Please use the "Include attachment" function which is below the box where you write comments for attaching files.

Run the screensaver, wait for the freeze and then attach again both files Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old.

Can you tell me if the freeze occurs with any screensaver or with a particular one?

Thank you

I know that it occurred the first time when I had set on random and has
occurred twice after that when I had it set on Planetary Gears.

I will fire it up and try it on some others.

Thanks.
