[Bug 694016] Re: DPMS Suspend doesn't work unless lid is open on laptop.
I think that considering how many people use laptop these days, this should be a major issue. Seriously, these kind of bugs affect user experience a lot. I am aware that security and stability problems are of highest priority, but how can anyone expect Linux to become more widespread on desktops if more than a year is not enough to even make a decision whether an issue like this will be fixed or not. Anyway, if someone needs a workaround, then in this forum (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- manager/+bug/550054) search for 'nightflow' and follow his/her instructions. -- 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/694016 Title: DPMS Suspend doesn't work unless lid is open on laptop. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 550054] Re: Power Manager Not putting Monitor to Sleep
Hi nightflow, Initially when I used the command you posted, every time a signal was received with a member value ActiveChanged, the display was turned off immediately. So for some bizarre reason the interface name was totally ignored (e.g. when I plugged in/unplugged my USB pendrive, the display was turned off immediately, because the member value matched the one I was looking for, even though the interface was different). But I have just repeated the test a couple times, and now it seems to be working fine. I have no idea what happened last time, or why it is working now. Anyway, with your help, now this problem is solved (on my machine at least) -thank you for your help! -- Power Manager Not putting Monitor to Sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yes, I did set the screensaver to activate! The problem is that this script kept turning my external display off whenever I stopped moving the mouse -immediately! :-) Here is what I did: - Copied your Perl script from this webpage. - Pasted it into my editor (checked that it contains no malicious code :). - Saved your script into /usr/local/bin. - Added read and execution rights for everyone. - Added it to System/Preferences/Startup Applications. - Rebooted my Linux. And then I had to disable the script, because of the mentioned problem. By the way: thank you that you at least made an effort to help us! -- Power Manager Not putting Monitor to Sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The same problem with Ubuntu 10.04, MSI CX600 notebook with ATI VGA card. As long as the lid is open, everything is fine. When I close it, the external display does not get turned off any more. I have tried the script above, but unfortunately it did not work. -- Power Manager Not putting Monitor to Sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
