Defaulting back to GNOME desktop when coming back from sleep mode (cause of the type of the game?)
I noticed that some games behave the same when entering sleep mode. In that respect playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Shredder's Revenge) has brought me this problem once more! The problem happens when you are in the middle of a game then pause it, let the (in my case) console hit sleep mode and come back to resume. In this particular bug I am opening it caused a full GNOME session with ChimeraOS background being presented on screen, loosing our most precious gaming sesh :(
Here are the journalctl entries generated during that happening. I sadly have no more timestamps to share as that's as far as the journalctl entries date back to.
Since I get this problem much less often than any other (and that my log retention is very poor) I am taking the liberty to add yet another journalctl entry containing the GNOME "crash"
In order to replay this log one needs to understand that I pulled out the power chord at around Nov 13 11:14.
Therefore everything dating from "Nov 13 11:14:52" and up is what happened after I powered on my screen, resumed the VCS from sleep mode and saw the GNOME desktop again.
So hopefully everything prior gives cleared indications as to what happen for this to happen.
I have discovered today that when I boot my console with no screen plugged in and I then plug my screen after it's booted that I am greeted by GNOME desktop.
I have the regret to tell you that after this problem appeared to have been fixed that it is now back.
That is unfortunate, what version are you running and what is your hardware?
When posting this, I was using the latest of everything on my (infamous) Atari VCS device.
However now I do see a Steam OS update, so this problem was reported before applying this:
Furthermore it's possible that you might enjoy looking at those better hence their inclusion:
Final point is that the game giving those errors is ran in 1280x1024.
PS: Everything is pointing to stable and no dev options are active.
