I encounter this on my HP Mini 1035NR as well, with the addition that the screen turns back on when the computer sleeps and then wakes from sleep mode. (For example, I have power manager set to sleep when the lid is closed, so it's almost a reasonable workaround).
Are you able to reproduce that, or do you definitely need a full restart for the screen to come back? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/844193 Title: Screen won't turn back on after being turned off due to inactivity (System Settings -> Screen) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/844193/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
