I can fill in the details: When I run the computer, if I leave it idle for ten minutes, the screen will cut off. My settings are all set for the screen to shut off at a half hour at the earliest.
Conventionally, when the screen cuts off in the proper fashion (which I can check via setting the screen cut off for 1 minute) the screen fades to black. But when this ten-minute cutoff happens, the screen simply immediately switches off. I cannot attest to HOW it's happening. The previous comments are the best guess at how these things happened. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/851520 Title: Screensaver activates at the wrong times in Oneiric Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In my up-to-date oneiric, screensaver is acting errantly. I switched the setting to 1 minute. The screen began fading away at the proper time. I then ran a video in totem for a time and the screen cut off at ten minutes (with no fading). I then cut off the video and the screen faded (as it should) after a minute. I cannot reliably determine what it is that the issue is. I have asked someone to repro the issue and they didn't seem to be affected. I've deleted all my settings files and the issue persists.
