I can confirm as of today with most current xUbuntu 64-bit running I had this very issue. I could tell from the following.
I went in to both Power Management and Light Locker and set both values to 0, and turned DPMS control off by unclicking the DPMS checkbox. I thought it was weird that I went from display and system going off after 10 min to this odd behavior of screen would blank, BUT I could tell it was only a fullscreen black graphic as the contrast and brightness were still in play AND I could continue to hear the audio of my full screen based flash player [I use Plex Media Server (god I love it)] continuing without any interruption. I thought it had to be something more. After looking around the web a little I rememebered XWindows does have it's own seperate control for the display. I then went ahead and issued the xset s off (basically x stop trying to call screensaver ever (which there is none installed). Once I did that t sppear to be fixed I have been running with no screen blanking for awhile now. Maybe it would be as easy as an eval if switch off display is set to 0 then run xset s off to cover the Xwindows portion of screen control. I have even been able to set DPMS back to on and have continued to enjoy no blanking or display powering down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1193716 Title: Xfce Power Manager does not override the screen saver timeout (X11 Screen Saver extension) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1193716/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
