Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
CRITICAL ERROR!
I only assume it has something to do with the power-manager,
but I really do not know.
When watching a movie or when not using input devices Karmic powers
down.
First, the screen goes black, and most of the time it awakens
when keyboard or the mouse is pressed or moved.
Goes black again, every 10 minutes, for 3 or 4 times.
Then usually the 4th or 5th time of going black, video signal is lost,
sound stops, keyboard, mouse, suspend button are useless.
The PC has to be rebooted to function again.
Its like a silent crash, with no warnings, no crash report.
Power settings are on "Never" put computer to sleep, and
"Never" put display to sleep.
Screensaver is not activated, setting is on maximum 2 hour setting.
The PC and the Monitor should stay powered on indefinitely.
But Karmic not only powers it down regardless but fails to re-power.
THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL AND SERIOUS FAILURE!!
This is without a doubt one of the most frustrating bugs in any
reputable OS.
I was about to recommend Karmic to some clients.
Unless this is fixed quickly, the value of UBUNTU will
drop below Windows XP.
Please do not let it come to this point.
Do not be Lucid before Karmic critical bugs are fixed!
