Public bug reported: i am using dapper drake.
i have the power management set to never dim or blank the screen. everything is set to: do nothing, never or 100% the computer screen will go black within 20 minutes (and is not over ridden by any other program (eg. dvd player)) if i toggle the power management settings but then put them back as they were the screen will stop going black after 20 minutes and then will only do after a number of hours (and the dvd player seems to over-rid the 'black setting') if i restart the computer the 'black settings' return and i have to pretend to adjust the power management settings. the only way that i have found to shake it out of this 'black setting' is to Fn>F6 or Fn>F7 (which are hotkeys to toggle the monitor brightness) moving the mouse or hitting other keys to not wake it up. bradley ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- my screen will 'black out' if left unattended even though that option is disabled https://launchpad.net/bugs/50076 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
