Public bug reported: I often use my computer for watching movies with totem in fullscreen. I deactivated display sleep under System->Prefs->Power Managment and deactivated the screensaver under Sys->Prefs->Screensaver. Still, after about 15-20minutes of watching a movie without touching the mouse or keyboard, the screen just blanks, my monitor says 'NO SIGNAL' and shuts off. This is VERY annoying, because I always need to keep the mouse in reach to juggle it around every few minutes to prevent this from happening. :-(
I am running latest edgy with gnome on x86. If you need any more information about my system, please let me know. This is by far the worst "bug" I ever encountered on Linux. :( ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- [edgy] Screen blanks when watching movies https://launchpad.net/bugs/66257 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
