I have attached two upstart .conf files implementing a fix that keeps the display on until the phone has booted. In particular it acquires a display-on lock when repowerd has started and releases it when lightdm has started. After the display-on lock is released the display stays on for 30s-1m (depending on the user timeout).
To test this, copy *both* attached files into /etc/init/ on the device (overwrite the existing repowerd.conf, keep-display-on-during-boot.conf is a new file) and reboot. If you want to try the scenario described in this bug, do: sudo rm /var/lib/apparmor/profiles/.apparmor.md5sums before rebooting. Please try it out and let me know what you think, so I can push the fixes to the respective packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623853 Title: Device appears to be off after updating to 15Sept2016's rc-proposed image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1623853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
