I'm using Hardy, same problem here on desktop. Even though I've set display to sleep after 2 minutes, the screen does not go to standby - instead the screensaver continues to display.
I've attached my `gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose` results. An extract follows: ... [x11_sync_server_dpms_settings] gpm-dpms.c:130 (06:32:58): Syncing DPMS settings enabled=1 timeouts=0 0 0 [x11_sync_server_dpms_settings] gpm-dpms.c:130 (06:32:58): Syncing DPMS settings enabled=1 timeouts=0 0 0 [gpm_idle_set_check_cpu] gpm-idle.c:236 (06:32:58): Setting the CPU load check to 0 [gpm_manager_init] gpm-manager.c:1782 (06:32:58): creating new inhibit instance [gpm_manager_init] gpm-manager.c:1792 (06:32:58): creating new control instance ... Is it because of the timeouts=0 0 0? Also here's what `xset q` tells about DPMS. DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On ** Attachment added: "killall gnome-power-manager && gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12972615/gpm.txt -- display doesn't go to sleep after today's gnome-power-manager update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203513 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
