[Bug 49521] Re: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.
I fixed my problem on Dell laptop by changing Screensaver (XScreenSaver 5.34) settings. Display Modes Mode: Blank Screen Only or Disable Screen Saver I guess the screen saver program was not working well. I glimpsed the monitor had weird colors.

[Bug 49521] Re: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.
OK, still broken. Now - this is not an exact duplicate of the bugs listed in this thread - The other Lenovo listed on here apparently will still allow ctrl-alt-del to work, but on mine it does not. I had intended on uninstalling 14.04, but this is a work machine and unfortunately I have to keep ubuntu on it. So now my problem - at least, the most problematic problem - is that closing the screen renders the machine unusable without doing a hard reboot. And even then, it is a crap shoot on whether or not it will reboot without cycling the power a few times after that; it is also now rebooting to a flashing cursor and just halting with absolutely nothing ever showing in any of the logs... but only after it locks up because someone was unlucky enough to close the lid. If I am able to use the normal shut down or restart method, then it is still suddenly making me log in twice when it does reboot... once at a CLI, and then a second time at the regular GUI login screen. All of this, the freezing, the failed boot, the multiple logins - this all started a few days ago. So... do I file a new bug report, or keep adding to this one, or is this just another that's just the way it is bugs that will eventually have a workaround in a random thread somewhere? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49521 Title: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.

Lenovo W530 Close screen, and the machine locks. No amount of keystrokes can unlock the screen - ctrl/alt/f1 does nothing, neither does c/a/del, c/a/bkspc, reisub... nothing. Oddly though - function key + spacebar will still cycle through the backlight on the keyboard. I see that this bug set to expire in 1 day if no further action takes place... I have already wiped 14.04 off my home machine because of all the issues, and the laptop is next now more so than ever. I would never have bothered posting yet another bug report, but I saw another Lenove W530 in this thread, and I figured maybe somebody will be able to at get this issue fixed if it is hardware related... however, it was working just fine a month ago, so who knows what's causing it now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49521 Title: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.

[Bug 49521] Re: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.
I've just now, with 14.04 (fully updated as of the date of this message) had a similar problem on my Lenovo T510. However, it seems somewhat variable with the standard (open source) Nvidia driver. (I've set my logind.conf to ignore lid close rather than suspend, but I saw similar issues before I did that.) Most of the time, on closing the lid and re-opening it, I'm greeted with a black display, and Ctrl-Alt-F1 will not bring up the console window. However, Ctrl-Alt-Del will still reboot the machine. On two occasions, however, the display came back normally after re-opening the lid, and on one occasion the machine locked up so badly that Ctrl-Alt-Del wouldn't reboot nor would even the caps lock light come on when pressing the caps lock key. Switching to the closed source Nvidia driver seems to have fixed the problem for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49521 Title: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.

[Bug 49521] Re: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.
I have a very similar bug. This has appeared over a number of OS installations. Currently with 10.04. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 5400 and having issues with the screen going black, and remaining so. This happens most often when I've had the lid closed, but perhaps 10% of the time I'm just sitting watching my screen and *bango* black screen. Mouse movement doesn't bring it back. I have all powersaving options turned off. No hybernate, or screen blank, or screensaver. This can happen even just a few seconds after key/mouse interaction (though not often). I have not tried any of the suggested solutions, but just wanted to add that when this does happen to me, I've found that opening and shutting the lid... many times... eventually gets me to where the backlight comes on again. I can also sometimes see a very black impression of windows onscreen, so I know that the LCD is displaying stuff but the backlight isn't on. It's pretty obvious when I shut/open the lid when I've got it... when it's OK the screen is blank, but I can see the backlight is operational. I then just touch the mousepad to get the display back to normal. Every once in a while it takes dozens of close/open tests to get it to work, and once in a blue moon I just (hard reset) reboot and it's right straight away. Very annoying little bug.

This problem strikes randomly for me. When it happens, it's when my laptop is running in battery mode and I shut the lid. My power management setting is for it to do nothing but lock the screen but the screen gets turned off sometimes and will not come back on when the lid is opened. My only solution is to kill the power.

[Bug 49521] Re: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.
For my (work) Dell D820 running 9.10 (karmic), the fix in #22 worked. I was able to ssh into my laptop and run the ' vbetool dpms on ' command to get the screen back on when testing, which was handy. Ctrl-alt-f1/ alt-f7 did not work. I should note that I have another local user defined which has default gconf values for gnome-power-manager (and others), and it did not appear to exhibit the problem with the screen blanking and not returning.If there is interest I can try to test that further. -- Screen locks up black on laptop lid close. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49521 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

I also have an IBM X41 and when I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 this bug appeared. I tried changing power management settings (do nothing, suspend, hibernate etc) but this did not fix it. I also tried to add 'Option ForceEnablePipeA true' to xorg.conf, but it did not help. The F1 F7 workaround worked for me, but I had to login again or I lost the wifi connection.

[Bug 49521] Re: Screen locks up black on laptop lid close.
This seems to be an issue affecting many Dell laptops. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 8100 with an nvidia GeForce 2 Go (using the proprietary driver) on Hardy, and have fixed it with the advice given in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=358432 My variation on the advice (it is essentially the same as above) was to place #!/bin/sh grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state if [ $? = 0 ] then # lid is open; turn the screen on vbetool dpms on fi before if [ `CheckPolicy` == 0 ]; then exit; fi in /etc/acpi/lid.sh. Basically, there seems to be *something* on Dell laptops that turns off a screen regardless of the OS or anything, and the only way to turn it back on is to run vbetool dpms on; xset dpms force on, which the lid.sh script uses, doesn't seem to work, so the screen remains blank. Additionally, it also seems that in recent releases of Ubuntu, or at least on Hardy, the script never even gets past the aforementioned policy check.

If you have intel graphics hardware which locks up or corrupts the screen when closing the lid, it's possible you may need the PipeA quirk.

I also have this problem. I'm using a Dell Latitude C640. I don't know what kind of video card I have. I can find out later... doing this right before I go to bed. If I set the laptop lid to turn screen off, or to go to sleep, when closed, I get a glitched up screen that changing TTY's does not fix (have not tried other work arounds). The computer is still running- I opened a terminal blind and ran hibernate one time (sudo pm-hibernate), but when I tried to bring back out of hibernate, it wouldn't load for over 15 minutes- got stuck on the Ubuntu Studio load screen. Sleeping at all is not functional. Hibernate is glitchy, and when it does work, takes forever to come out of. Sometimes it tells me that the hibernation failed. As stated above, using 8.04. Also, my load screen use to be at a much higher resolution- now it takes up the whole screen. I don't know what could have caused that to change... the problems were not affected that I noticed (though who knows), so that's a separate question. -- Screen locks up black on laptop lid close. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49521 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

Just to comment that the fix: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phighxserver-xorg' does *not* solve the problem for me. As stated above, the problem (for me) seems to be related to using the nvidia driver.

Reporting that the fix also applies for the ThinkPad X60 after upgrade to hardy. Trimmed the xorg.conf somewhat excessively, but guess none of that old crap was needed anymore.

Same or similar problem on my HP nx6110. Kubuntu Hardy. While my screen does not lock up completely and can be brought back to life by hitting some keys or using the touchpad (just like deactivating a screensaver), it will turn black a few moments after I stop typing or moving the cursor. The screensaver is off and power manager is set to do nothing on closing the lid. Switching terminals doesn't help. I've also seen this problem in Gutsy.

Edward, do you have an Nvidia card? I have managed to pin the problem down to the Nvidia driver. When the Nvidia driver is loaded, the screen locks black, and I cannot see the terminal on tty1 (i.e. ctrl+shift+F1 results in black screen), however I can return to X11. If I *don't* load Nvidia then everything is fine. I can close the laptop lid, I can switch to tty1.

The same behavior is exhibited by Hardy 8.04 on my Thinkpad x41. That is, when I close and then open the lid the screen stays black. Only restarting xserver or rebooting does anything. Changing the Power Management setting for 'When laptop is closed' to suspend does actually put the machine into suspend. However, coming out of suspend is slower than just restarting xserver. Changing the Power Management setting for 'When laptop is closed' to 'do nothing' does not work.
