You have been subscribed to a public bug: This problem is observed on my laptop, Dell Inspiron 6400 running Ubuntu (Jaunty at present, but was there for previous releases too).
Steps to reproduce this: Lock the laptop by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L. Display goes to sleep after some time, leaving it blank and black. Now witch the power off, or plug the power cord out. LCD display suddenly wakes up showing the password entry dialog, as if I pressed a key or clicked the mouse. Display, then wouldn't shutdown (i.e. goes off), until I press ESC and thus quitting the password entry dialog. The problem, here, is that display stays bright even after power loss, there by draining the battery quite fast. ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: display jaunty -- Display wakes up bright on power loss, and doesn't go off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377166 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
