1882641 - Flatpak does not inhibit idle

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[yosukematsumura]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0

Steps to reproduce:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0
KDE Plasma 5.27.10
Fedora Linux 39 Kinoite

1. Start a YouTube video.
2. Idle

Actual results:

Monitor sleeps after time specified in system preferences

Expected results:

Monitor should not sleep while video is playing.

I suspect that this is occurring due to the enhancement that went into effect by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1860269

As it stands, the X-D-P Inhibit interface does not work:
https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/issues/465
https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/1254

Also sounds similar to another bug, but this still occurs even if the video begins playing while the Firefox application window is in focus, so not quite the same:

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Same here. KDE on Fedora 39. I solved with the following command:

$ flatpak override --user --talk-name=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver org.mozilla.firefox

Take a look also at this discussion.

also convo here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485376

the flatpak needs to be built with: "--talk-name=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver" here: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/taskcluster/docker/firefox-flatpak/runme.sh#l150

users can also add this flag in flatseal > firefox > session bus > talks > "org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver"

Closing this as it has been fixed in KDE.
