[SOLVED] Screen Goes Black Immediately After Locking in GNOME 46 - Any Fixes?

[SOLVED] Screen Goes Black Immediately After Locking in GNOME 46 - Any Fixes?

Solution:
Apparently it is by design! I had to use “Unblank” extension to change the behaviour.


Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue with GNOME 46 where my screen goes black immediately after locking. Here's a bit more detail about my setup and the troubleshooting steps I've already taken:

System: Manjaro Linux Release: 24.0.4
Display: Single monitor setup (1920x1080 resolution)

Steps Taken:
Checked and adjusted Settings > Power > Blank screen and Settings > Privacy > Screen Lock settings.
Ensured monitor configuration is correct in Settings > Displays.
Updated system.
Disabled all GNOME Shell extensions.
Verified GNOME Shell and related packages are up to date.
Reviewed logs using journalctl -xe but found nothing conclusive.
Reset GNOME settings with dconf reset -f /org/gnome/.
Checked and updated graphics drivers.
Disabled lock screen fade animation with gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 0.

Despite all these efforts, the issue persists. Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Add YOUR city to the Gnome weather app [Solved]

Add YOUR city to the Gnome weather app [Solved]

cross-posted from: !linux@lemmy.eco.br | https://lemmy.eco.br/post/1969330

I've been using Gnome for about 10 months and it always bothered me that my city (with more than a million inhabitants) was not found in the Weather program.

I looked for solutions several times and never found them, until I found this thread yesterday. That the user Julian made a script that solves this problem. you just have to run and enter the name of your city and then confirm.

::: spoiler script

#!/bin/bash

if [[ ! -z "$(which gnome-weather)" ]]; then
	system=1
fi

if [[ ! -z "$(flatpak list | grep org.gnome.Weather)" ]]; then
	flatpak=1
fi

if [[ ! $system == 1 && ! $flatpak == 1 ]]; then
	echo "GNOME Weather isn't installed"
	exit
fi

if [[ ! -z "$*" ]]; then
	query="$*"
else
	read -p "Type the name of the location you want to add to GNOME Weather: " query
fi

query="$(echo $query | sed 's/ /+/g')"

request=$(curl "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=$query&format=json&limit=1" -s)

if [[ $request == "[]" ]]; then
	echo "No locations found, consider removing some search terms"
	exit
fi

read -p "If this is not the location you wanted, consider adding search terms
Are you sure you want to add $(echo $request | sed 's/.*"display_name":"//' | sed 's/".*//')? [y/n] : " answer

if [[ ! $answer == "y" ]]; then
	echo "Not adding location"
	exit
else
	echo "Adding location"
fi

id=$(echo $request | sed 's/.*"place_id"://' | sed 's/,.*//')

name=$(curl "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=$id&format=json" -s | sed 's/.*"name": "//' | sed 's/".*//')

lat=$(echo $request | sed 's/.*"lat":"//' | sed 's/".*//')
lat=$(echo "$lat / (180 / 3.141592654)" | bc -l)

lon=$(echo $request | sed 's/.*"lon":"//' | sed 's/".*//')
lon=$(echo "$lon / (180 / 3.141592654)" | bc -l)

if [[ $system == 1 ]]; then
	locations=$(gsettings get org.gnome.Weather locations)
fi

if [[ $flatpak == 1 ]]; then
	locations=$(flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather get org.gnome.Weather locations)
fi

location="<(uint32 2, <('$name', '', false, [($lat, $lon)], @a(dd) [])>)>"

if [[ $system == 1 ]]; then
	if [[ ! $(gsettings get org.gnome.Weather locations) == "@av []" ]]; then
		gsettings set org.gnome.Weather locations "$(echo $locations | sed "s|>]|>, $location]|")"
	else
		gsettings set org.gnome.Weather locations "[$location]"
	fi
fi

if [[ $flatpak == 1 ]]; then
	if [[ ! $(flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather get org.gnome.Weather locations) == "@av []" ]]; then
		flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather set org.gnome.Weather locations "$(echo $locations | sed "s|>]|>, $location]|")"
	else
		flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather set org.gnome.Weather locations "[$location]"
	fi
fi

It occurred to me that some people might not know how to run scripts, so here's a brief tutorial:

::: spoiler How to run scripts in Linux

  1. Save the script to a text file and save with the .sh extension
  2. Provide execute permission: chmod u+x script.sh
  3. run the script by double clicking or ./script.sh :::
