[Bug 1045542] [NEW] KDE kubuntu ignores power/monitor/xorg.conf DPMS settings
Public bug reported: I have unchecked Dim DIsplay, Screen Energy Saving, Suspend Session in System Settings - Power Managment Also I have disabled the screensaver under System Settings - Display Monitor Also I have disabled DPMS in xorg.conf: Section ServerFlags Option blank time 0 Option standby time 0 Option suspend time 0 Option off time 0 Option dpms false EndSection Yet DPMS always turns back on in KDE/Kubuntu whenever I log into KDE or an update occurs. So my screen goes blank after about 2 sec of inactivity or less (some very short interval). I can fix the problem with xset: #!/bin/sh xset q xset -dpms xset s noblank xset s off But it comes back whenever I log in or an update occurs (as mentioned above). DPMS does stay off before I get into KDE. There appear to be a lot of bugs filed in the past around how KDE handles DPMS... any tips on where to look to fix it correctly? I realize I could just hack something into my bash profile or init scripts or something, but I'm wondering what part of KDE is doing this? Doesn't happen with Gnome, etc... but I'm liking the rest of KDE, so I'd like to stick with it..

[Bug 788481] [NEW] Unity can't handle two GVIM's at the same time
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vim When I open two gvim's at the same time (from the command prompt), only one of them has a global menu, the other does not. This is not a duplicate of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/781180 As I see no warnings. Just the first menu works, and the second GVIM has no menu. Which also means copy paste between gvims using menu shortcuts is broken :( SInce only one instance has a menu... Alt+E 'C' is probably one of the most common things I do with two gvims open...

[Bug 609262] Re: Can't unminimize windows in panel
1) Yes it's reproducible. Please read above comments for more information. 2) Open several windows on lucid. Say 10 or 20. In my use case, firefox with several tabs, eclipse, 4 or 5 consoles, a couple gvim's, etc. Leave them all up for a while, say a day or so. Use as normal. If you want to automate it, just write some automation to move windows around, and minimize unminimize them, etc. Probably helps if you cycle through a few tabs on firefox, keeping at least 10 or so open at once. Eventually, you should reach a state where a minimized window won't unminimize, as described above. -- Can't unminimize windows in panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 609262] [NEW] Can't unminimize windows in panel
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel In lucid, I'm having fairly consistent trouble unminimizing a window from gnome-panel. If a window won't unminimize it just sits there slowly blinking when I initially (and unsuccessfully) try to unminimize it. Sometimes, if I minimize and unminimize the currently active window (window A), and then click on the window I want to unminimize (window B), then window B will pop up. I also had a case where all windows were minimized, and I couldn't get a single one to come back. I noticed when I right-click on a blank area of the panel, it was giving me options like Move to workspace Right, which would only make sense if I was right-clicking on a window. So I clicked that a couple times, and finally got stuff to come back. Another way to wake up the window is to move the window to a different workspace and back. Perhaps back and forth a couple times. I did this once with firefox when I noticed that the little workspace icon showed the window maximized, BUT it wasn't actually maximized. Other times the workspace icon doesn't show the window as restored. So basically, gnome-panel, the workspace icon on gnome panel, and the actual desktop seem very confused about what the current state of the window is. I've even managed to get the right-click window panel menu to give me the option to both unminimize the window AND unmaximize the window. Which would seem rather contradictory. I've double checked to make sure I didn't just cover up the window or have the window on another workspace or something. And I've seen this problem on two separate Lucid machines which I use very differently - my home laptop, which mostly just sits there with firefox, and my work desktop that has several windows open at once, with a lot of switching between them. This is just very odd, and hard to describe, but I'll try to help if I can. ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Can't unminimize windows in panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 484710] Re: laptop hibernates when plugged in to ac power
Same thing, without fail. Even when not critically low (anything around 15% or less), the panel icon doesn't show a red battery on, I plug in, I get a splash/popup saying battery is critically, hibernating. This is on a Dell inspiron 1501 laptop. Note that hibernate and suspend were finally working in 8.?? before I upgraded to karmic. Now hibernate and suspend don't work. The obviously compounds the frustration, as when the computer hibernates, it won't wake back up. So every time I plug into A/C power at below ~15-20%, it hibernates, won't wake up from hibernate, and I have to do a hard reset (power button for 4 seconds), and then boot back up again Is power-management in karmic a known issue btw? It seems to have gotten much worse? Should I be reporting all these.. or would I just be filling up the bug list? If you need more information, let me know! I might not get back too quickly, but I will get back. If I need to re-configure something for debugging, just point me to a wiki, and I'll get going. Thanks for all the hard work so far..
