[arch-general] Gnome - blank dialog when resuming from suspend
I'm having trouble finding a bug report on this but I've experienced it on 4 different computers. When I suspend (pm-utils) though System -> Shut Down -> Suspend (button), the shut down dialog is still on the screen and blank, when I resume. Anyone know exactly what's responsible for this? gnome-screensaver, pm-utils, gdm, ...? And if it's upstream or a distribution thing? (I think upstream). Thanks

That also happens to me but I'm not sure who's to blame. This blank dialog eventually quits, does that happen with you too? Is there anyway we can help you to debug what's going on? -- Flávio Coutinho da Costa

Yes, it eventually goes away. I'm guessing that the resume sequence is still happening and the dialog doesn't go away until it's finished. However in the past, the dialog might have closed just _before_ suspending, which is why it has never been a problem. I've tried to look at my logs as a resume, but I have a feeling it's more of a GUI issue and not something that will show up in the logs. Is anyone with an up-to-date gnome system NOT experiencing this? If so, what would be the major differences in our systems? Hardware? I'm using the radeon driver.

This exact bug happens to me, too. It seems that some part of GNOME hangs for a few seconds after resume, as I noticed the battery indicator and IMO network-manager too are delaying their work when resuming the machine. Any tips where to start searching the bug? Philipp

The problem is, if you search for "blank" and "resume" you're only going to get results about blank screens after resume.

That's the "shutdown / suspend" dialog that gets stuck for a bit. So maybe a gnome-session problem "gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog"

Thanks Hussam, that gives me some definitive search terms. I couldn't find anything in Gnome's bugzilla so I filed one: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619451
