[Bug 368946] Re: [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING
Hi. I have found out that a very simple workaround works for me: suspend and resume. It is not so easy to trigger suspend while the screen is blinking. Therefore I have configured the machine to suspend when the power button is pressed. Thus my workaround in fact means pressing the power button, waiting a bit for the machine to suspend (it takes a bit longer while the screen is blinking), and then again pressing the power button to wake up the machine. -- [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368946 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 368946] Re: [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING
It happened again, and I confirm that killing the gnome-settings-daemon helped also in 9.10. In the previous post I wrote, that the killing is done by pressing the Ctrl+F1 to switch to console, then logging in and killing the daemon. It is however not possible to login (I completely forgot about this when writing the post yesterday). The machine reject the correct login/password combination. And it behaves very strange. After entering the login name, pasword and pressing 'Enter' it starts printing ^@ on the line below the 'Password:' prompt. After ^@ is printed 2 to 4 times it prints out 'Login incorrect:', display a prompt for the login name and continues to print another 20 ^@ characters. Afterwards it says: 'Login timed out after 60 seconds.' I will try to run apport-collect from home, it does not work behind a proxy here. -- [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368946 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 368946] Re: [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING
Please find attached the Xorg.0.log And a further observation: I went to System -- Preferences -- Appearance and the look feel of the Gnome was returned back without me doing anything but starting this. gnome-settings-daemon was restarted by this action somehow. Blinking did not restart after the gnome-settings- daemon was started again. It is now even possible to login in a text console. The notebook was suspended after killing gnome-settings-daemon and before the gnome-settings-daemon was started again. ** Attachment added: + the Xorg.0.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37414002/Xorg.0.log.gz -- [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368946 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 368946] Re: [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING
This problem affects me as well, but it happens only when closing the lid, docking the notebook, and then opening the lid when docked. If I do not dock/undock the notebook, the problem does not occur no matter how many times I open or close the lid. The problem did also never occur when closing the lid while docked, then undocking and opening the lid while undocked The problem started appearing with 9.04 (upgrade from 8.04) and the problem is still present in 9.10 (upgraded from 9.04). In 9.04 I have found a workaround to the problem. When clicking any mouse button on the tray icon of Display preferences the blinking stopped. I had to click multiple times, because while blinking some events from the mouse are ignored (even movements). Besides that the blinking stopped, Gnome has lost the lookfeel I have configured and it reverted back to the default gray configuration. Somewhat later I found out that what actually happened was, that process gnome-settings-daemon was killed due to the click on that icon. Killing the process by hand then also helped to stop the blinking (e.g. Ctr+Alt+F1; login; killall gnome-settings-daemon). The last time I checked this workaround was no loner working in 9.10, which leaves me no choice but to reboot when this occurs. This problem makes my notebook next to unusable at work, where I use the docking station. -- [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368946 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
