【中文标题】使用 Python3 通过 python-dbus 在 Linux 上的屏幕保护程序状态【英文标题】:Screensaver status on Linux via python-dbus using Python3 【发布时间】:2019-03-01 19:08:40 【问题描述】:基于https://***.com/a/17981327/9614384:
import dbus
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
screensaver = bus.get_object('org.gnome.ScreenSaver', '/')
print(bool(screensaver.GetActive()))
我正在尝试访问屏幕保护程序,因为这在 Ubuntu 18.04 中已更改,但此代码给了我以下错误:
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface '(null)' on object at path /
【问题讨论】:
【参考方案1】:Scott 的 EDIT 在我运行 python3 的 Ubuntu 18.04 机器上产生错误:
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: This method is not implemented
我想所有可用屏幕保护程序的代码都应该是:
import dbus
session_bus = dbus.SessionBus()
screensaver_list = ['org.gnome.ScreenSaver',
'org.cinnamon.ScreenSaver',
'org.kde.screensaver',
'org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver']
for each in screensaver_list:
try:
object_path = '/0'.format(each.replace('.', '/'))
get_object = session_bus.get_object(each, object_path)
get_interface = dbus.Interface(get_object, each)
status = bool(get_interface.GetActive())
print(status)
except dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
pass
顺便说一句,C 中的相同练习导致以下代码:
#include<dbus/dbus.h>
#include<stdbool.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
int scrstat(DBusConnection* conn, const char* scrdbus)
bool* retbl = NULL;
char* scrobj;
DBusMessage* msg;
DBusMessageIter MsgIter;
DBusPendingCall* pending;
int i;
scrobj = (char *) malloc((1+strlen(scrdbus))*sizeof(char));
strncpy(scrobj,"/", 2*sizeof(char));
strncat(scrobj,scrdbus,strlen(scrdbus)*sizeof(char));
for(i=0;i<strlen(scrobj);i++)
if(scrobj[i] == '.') scrobj[i] = '/';
// create a new method call and check for errors
msg = dbus_message_new_method_call(scrdbus, // target for the method call
scrobj, // object to call on
scrdbus, // interface to call on
"GetActive"); // method name
if (NULL == msg)
fprintf(stderr, "Message NULL.\n");
return(1);
// send message and get a handle for a reply
if (!dbus_connection_send_with_reply (conn, msg, &pending, -1)) // -1 is default timeout
fprintf(stderr, "Out of memory.\n");
return(1);
if (NULL == pending)
fprintf(stderr, "Pending call NULL.\n");
return(1);
// free message
dbus_message_unref(msg);
// block until we recieve a reply
dbus_pending_call_block(pending);
if(!dbus_message_iter_init(msg, &MsgIter)) //msg is pointer to dbus message received
fprintf(stderr, "Message without arguments.\n");
return(1);
if (DBUS_TYPE_BOOLEAN == dbus_message_iter_get_arg_type(&MsgIter))
dbus_message_iter_get_basic(&MsgIter, &retbl);//this function is used to read basic dbus types like int, string etc.
fprintf(stdout, retbl ? "Screensaver status: on.\n" : "Screensaver status: off.\n");
// free the pending message handle
dbus_pending_call_unref(pending);
free(scrobj);
return(0);
int main()
const char* scrdbus[5];
scrdbus[0] = "org.cinnamon.ScreenSaver";
scrdbus[1] = "org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver";
scrdbus[2] = "org.gnome.ScreenSaver";
scrdbus[3] = "org.kde.Screensaver";
scrdbus[4] = NULL;
DBusConnection* conn;
DBusError err;
int i=0;
// initialise the errors
dbus_error_init(&err);
conn = dbus_bus_get(DBUS_BUS_SESSION, &err);
if (dbus_error_is_set(&err))
fprintf(stderr, "Connection error (%s).\n", err.message);
dbus_error_free(&err);
if (NULL == conn)
fprintf(stderr, "Connection NULL.\n");
return(1);
while(NULL != scrdbus[i])
scrstat(conn, scrdbus[i]);
i++;
dbus_connection_unref(conn);
return(0);
以上代码使用gcc编译:
gcc -pthread -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -o scrstat scrstat.c -ldbus-1
python3 的美妙之处在于 17 行代码,而不是 98 行。 C 语言的美妙之处在于 10 毫秒的执行时间,而不是 128 毫秒。
【讨论】:
已确认。上面的代码可以在我使用 python3 的系统上运行。【参考方案2】:取自https://askubuntu.com/questions/623195/how-to-get-gnome-session-idle-time,我可以用这个来回答我自己的问题:
import dbus
session_bus = dbus.SessionBus()
gnome_screensaver = 'org.gnome.ScreenSaver'
object_path = '/0'.format(gnome_screensaver.replace('.', '/'))
get_object = session_bus.get_object(gnome_screensaver, object_path)
get_interface = dbus.Interface(get_object, gnome_screensaver)
status = bool(get_interface.GetActive())
object_path 是通过替换 .用/,用get_object获取对象,
我之前缺少的是dbus.Interface,实际上在https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/tutorial.html#interfaces-and-methods引用了它
编辑:
这会捕获所有可用的屏幕保护程序:
import dbus
session_bus = dbus.SessionBus()
screensaver_list = ['org.gnome.ScreenSaver',
'org.cinnamon.ScreenSaver',
'org.kde.screensaver',
'org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver']
for each in screensaver_list:
try:
object_path = '/0'.format(each.replace('.', '/'))
get_object = session_bus.get_object(each, object_path)
get_interface = dbus.Interface(get_object, each)
status = bool(get_interface.GetActive())
print(status)
except dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
pass
