Some applications disable the screensaver (and power management) when they're running. qemu is one such application. The times I've seen this were when I was running qemu.
you can stop qemu (and actually, all SDL applications) from disabling the screensaver by putting SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 in your environment. One place to do something like this is in ~/.bash_profile with: export SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 This may not be your problem. -- power management does not consistently power down inactive monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/473705 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
