Being able to turn off the display is a great way to save power when just playing music, while stepping away from the computer for several minutes while Update Manager downloads and installs a bunch of updates, etc.
I'd love to see this feature added to Ubuntu! I'd be nice to be able to turn off the display on a Laptop without having to lock the screen. Being able to Lock the Screen and have the display turn off is a great feature. But there are times (e.g., when you are at home) when you just don't need the screen to lock every time you turn off the Laptop Display. It would be best if you could just press a key or swipe the touchpad to cause the display to turn back on without having to enter a password. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590243 Title: Add "blank screen now" option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/590243/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
