I can confirm this bug still exists in up-to-date Karmic. Only the screensaver problem seems to have been *partially* resolved. Further when almost every time i exit from the screensaver , i find an icon of "fullscreen"[attaching screenshot] in the notification area with tooltips asking me to contact the distributor and pointing to this blog> http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/07/30/accidental-blanking-and-gnome-power-manager/
Or maybe the problem still exists because i was using xset , [$xset s 300] to blank the screen because of the screensaver problem. $ xset -q Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000 auto repeat delay: 219 repeat rate: 30 auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf fadfffefffedffff 9fffffffffffffff fff7ffffffffffff bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100 Pointer Control: acceleration: 3/2 threshold: 4 Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 0 Colors: default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 16777215 Font Path: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,built-ins DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On Have the setting been messed up? even if its not messed up, How do i *reset* the xset settings? as in, i was able to set the time limit but how to switch it back off? ** Attachment added: "Screenshot.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31037793/Screenshot.png -- Screen randomly goes off in karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397839 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
