[Bug 199040] Re: (hardy) can't write DVD-RW

2008-04-30 Thread Andrew Oakley
This problem does NOT occur on a Dell Optiplex 745 desktop with DVD-ROM CD-RW combo drive, neither before nor after upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. I have burned several CD ISOs at max speed in Brassero, and they verify (checksum) correctly, also browsing the resultant discs in both Ubuntu and MS-Wind

Fair enough. The next best situation for Hardy, would be to perfect my workaround script /etc/acpi/local/lid.sh.pre ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- manager/+bug/41994/comments/21 ) Currently the script detects the XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY environment variables in this manner

Attaching gpm.debug.log.txt . This shows: * Lid is closed * LCD turns off (correct behaviour) * USB mouse is moved * LCD turns on (lid remains closed; LCD turns on with lid closed; WRONG BEHAVIOUR) * Lid is opened * LCD remains on * Lid is closed again * LCD turns off (correct behaviour) *

This is still a problem with Hardy Beta and all updates to date 2008-04-09 on a Dell Inspiron 1520 with Intel X3100/i965 graphics. Re- marking as confirmed. The problem is NOT that the LCD doesn't switch off when the lid closes. The problem is that the LCD turns back on again when the lid REMAINS
