[Bug 97251] Re: screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen
I am running Kubuntu Precise beta 64bit with the 3.2.0-22 generic kernel on an Acer 7739-6830 which uses an Intel HD3000 graphics chip.I do not have screen saver activated, and powersave is off. I do not use sleep or hibernation, but both are set to power down this laptop. Regardless of what I am doing or what app is open, if any, after about 5 minutes of no mouse movement the screen goes black. I've tried seterm and xset to no avail. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97251 Title: screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/97251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Totem should correctly disable gnome-screensaver in current releases of Ubuntu. I am closing this bug.

[Bug 97251] Re: screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen
Hi, i just installed ubuntu of my girlfriend's pc, because i try to convince her to use it (she has xp...). The problem is that pc go to sleep while she is watching fullscreen flash videos. I remember that i had this problem a long time ago on ubuntu (on my pc) and i think this is more than a low issue. After a search on internet, i didn't found any other fix than running a command or clicking on an applet to inhibit the screensaver EACH TIME i want to see a fullscreen video. I don't want to be rude but ubuntu want to be a perfect linux desktop and this bug is really annoying for non-geek people. Ubuntu has to be capable on running fullscreen videos / flash videos without disturbing the user. I mean, it need to be automatic because the argument On windows, i can watch my videos quietly is stronger than anything else. BTW, her pc is running an up-to-date maverick. Do i need to report something ? -- screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97251 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
[Bug 97251] Re: screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen
Either way i dont think you need to write the whole story like this in a bug report. Who cares what your girlfriend says, if she wants to go back to windows, let her. There is a workaround, little applet called caffeine. It can automatically disable power saving features when watching a video, flash, etc. Try it. -- screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97251 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
[Bug 97251] Re: screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen
Yes, you're right. I already knew the workaround. Anyway, do you think this workaround sound anything like a solution ? i mean, this is a serious bug. New users do really need to seek for this workaround before to appreciate viewing fullscreen videos ? This is a common task, like surfing with firefox or chatting with empathy.

[Bug 97251] Re: screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen
as a more permanent workaround, one could rename /usr/bin/totem and place a script in its place, that disables the screensaver when totem is run.. such as the following (it's really simple, i'm sure there's a better way): #!/bin/bash # Assuming totem was renamed totem1, waits for gnome-screensaver to be killed, opens totem and waits for exit, then it runs the screensaver again killall gnome-screensaver totem1 $@ ; gnome-screensaver -- screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97251 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

It's back! Compiz set to 'none'. Fully updated 7.10. Screensaver set to 1 minute (I'm testing) with random visual. Playing dvd with latest VLC player. 'Disable Screensaver' check box ticked. After 10 minutes (exactly - measured) the screen goes blank. Can be repeated at every attempt.

[Bug 97251] Re: screen turns off after 20 minutes even when playing in fullscreen
After a little fiddling, I've discovered that gnome-screensaver is turning the screen off. This is despite the fact that totem is running in full screen, and despite the fact that the screensaver has been disabled (Regard the computer as idle after: is set to 2 hours , and Activate screensaver when computer is idle is unchecked. Also, in gnome-power-manager, Put display to sleep when inactive for: is set to never. I've determined this by running a video for 20 minutes without touching the mouse and noticing that the monitor goes to sleep kicks in. I then ran killall gnome-screensaver and ran the video again.
