Playing around with dbus for the first time (apologies in advance for noobness). I want to do something similar to this question except that instead of monitoring the system waking up, I want to monitor when the user moves the mouse or makes a keypress and the screen turns on.

So far I have a basic Python script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3



import dbus

import openrazer.client



from gi.repository import GObject as gobject

from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop



client = openrazer.client.DeviceManager()



def wake_up(sleeping):

    if not sleeping:

        print("Linux rising!")

        for d in range(0, len(client.devices)):

            if client.devices[d].name == "Razer Ornata Chroma":

                client.devices[d].brightness = 100

    else:

        print("Linux dreaming...")



DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)

bus = dbus.SystemBus()

bus.add_signal_receiver(                # define signal to listen to

    wake_up,                            # name of callback function

    'SessionIdleChanges',               # signal name

    'org.gnome.ScreenSaver'             # interface

)



loop = gobject.MainLoop()

loop.run()

My understanding is that this should capture the screensaver changing (which I take to be "screen wake"), but it doesn't seem to work – I see no output in my console or an output file (if running with python3 script-name.py >> output.txt)
