Your suggestion does not work. If I turn off the screen saver, then I go to power manager, and set monitor to sleep after 1 minute, I will just be looking at my desktop, and nothing will happen.
Strange is the fact that occasionally it works perfectly, and sometimes it fails completely. Another thing to mention, is that I have an External Monitor connected, and the laptop lid is closed all the time. I think the failure occurs when I connect the monitor, and set it to display to the external monitor, but when I close the lid, the external monitor shuts off. At this point, I move the mouse, the monitor comes back one, and never shuts off again. -- Notebook monitor does not turn off when idle https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202800 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
