[Bug 899955] Re: On login ignores setting, turns off screen after idle timeout
IN 12.04 at least, this seems to be tied to Xorg's blanking which by default happens after 10 minutes/600 seconds. It can be unset via xset on the commandline, but I finally managed to do this via xorg.conf, like so: jani@saegusa:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* Section Extensions Option DPMS Disable Option MIT-SCREEN-SAVER Disable EndSection Section Device Identifier Intel Graphics Driver intel Option DPMS Disable EndSection Section ServerFlags Option NoPM true EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier X.org Configured Option BlankTime 0 Option StandbyTime 0 Option SuspendTime 0 Option OffTime 0 EndSection It could be that just the ServerLayout section is actually required (and I'm not sure if other graphics drivers even have a DPMS option of their own like intel does), as none of the other sections by themselves nor together prevented the screen from turning off. (The most confusing one is MIT-SCREEN-SAVER, which I thought was exactly what the xset timeouts were controlling, but apparently not so, as disabling it does not prevent the issue either.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899955 Title: On login ignores setting, turns off screen after idle timeout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/899955/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Confirmed on 12.10 Quantal Quetzal. This exact problem began happening to me after an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. This seems to be a bug with the upgrade process screwing up power management settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899955 Title: On login ignores setting, turns off screen after idle timeout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/899955/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
