After using the remote desktop program & the VNC viewer programs that
are included with the Gutsy version of Ubuntu, the screen blanking/power
saving mode function will not resume on the computer that was BEING
controlled remotely after the VNC session has been ended by the computer
that was DOING the controlling.
I have the screen power saving mode set to go blank after 3 minutes of
inactivity on the computer.
Once the VNC session is ended the controlled computer will NOT go
into/resume the screen blanking function unless the mouse/cursor is
moved or a key is pressed (Of course, if I am at a remote location, say
at work and the computer being controlled is at my home, then It is sort
of hard for me to either move the mouse or press at key, if I am not
there in person).
After the mouse/cursor is moved (when I get home) the screen blanking
function WILL resume as normal. However, it would seem to me that once
the VNC session is ended that this screen blanking/power saving function
should resume without any user intervention. It is as if somehow that
computer thinks that there is still activity (i.e. either mouse movement
of keyboard activity is taking place) even though there is not.
If you need anymore information, please let me know.
Thanks.
