Public bug reported:
My screen randomly stops blanking, ignoring the interval I set under
Settings > Power > Power Saving Options > Screen blank (8 minutes). This
behaviour behaviour has so far manifested only after I resumed the
system from suspend but that connection is not consistent - more often
than not, the system resumes without any noticeable impact on screen
blanking.
However, when screen blanking does break, it appears to go hand in hand
with an unstable gnome session. That is, when I try to restart my gnome
session (I am using X), it results in a desktop crash and I am forced to
log out.
(on a side note: I noticed the other day that gnome also broke when I
logged out of my second desktop account to return to my main account;
the screen went black and I had to reboot).
The crash does not appear to generate a log but journald has recorded
the following at/around the time that restarting gnome-shell ended in a
crash (the messages are reproduced here in reverse order):

UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to mantic on 2023-10-13 (21 days ago)
** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Tags: amd64 apport-bug mantic
** Description changed:
My screen randomly stops blanking after the interval set under Settings
> Power > Power Saving Options > Screen blank (8 minutes). This
behaviour behaviour has so far manifested only after I resumed the
system from suspend but that connection is not consistent - more often
than not, the system resumes without any noticeable impact on screen
blanking.
However, when screen blanking does break, it appears to go hand in hand
with an unstable gnome session. That is, when I try to restart my gnome
session (I am using X), it results in a desktop crash and I am forced to
log out.
+
+ (on a side note: I noticed the other day that the system also froze when
+ I logged out of my second desktop account to return to my main account;
+ the screen went black and I had to reboot).
The crash does not appear to generate a log but journald has recorded
the following at/around the time of the crash (reproduced here in
reverse order):

** Description changed:
My screen randomly stops blanking after the interval set under Settings
> Power > Power Saving Options > Screen blank (8 minutes). This
behaviour behaviour has so far manifested only after I resumed the
system from suspend but that connection is not consistent - more often
than not, the system resumes without any noticeable impact on screen
blanking.
However, when screen blanking does break, it appears to go hand in hand
with an unstable gnome session. That is, when I try to restart my gnome
session (I am using X), it results in a desktop crash and I am forced to
log out.
(on a side note: I noticed the other day that the system also froze when
I logged out of my second desktop account to return to my main account;
the screen went black and I had to reboot).
The crash does not appear to generate a log but journald has recorded
- the following at/around the time of the crash (reproduced here in
- reverse order):
+ the following at/around the time that restarting gnome-shell ended in a
+ crash (reproduced here in reverse order):

** Description changed:
- My screen randomly stops blanking after the interval set under Settings
- > Power > Power Saving Options > Screen blank (8 minutes). This
+ My screen randomly stops blanking, ignoring the interval I set under
+ Settings > Power > Power Saving Options > Screen blank (8 minutes). This
behaviour behaviour has so far manifested only after I resumed the
system from suspend but that connection is not consistent - more often
than not, the system resumes without any noticeable impact on screen
blanking.
However, when screen blanking does break, it appears to go hand in hand
with an unstable gnome session. That is, when I try to restart my gnome
session (I am using X), it results in a desktop crash and I am forced to
log out.
(on a side note: I noticed the other day that the system also froze when
I logged out of my second desktop account to return to my main account;
the screen went black and I had to reboot).
The crash does not appear to generate a log but journald has recorded
the following at/around the time that restarting gnome-shell ended in a
crash (reproduced here in reverse order):

** Description changed:
My screen randomly stops blanking, ignoring the interval I set under
Settings > Power > Power Saving Options > Screen blank (8 minutes). This
behaviour behaviour has so far manifested only after I resumed the
system from suspend but that connection is not consistent - more often
than not, the system resumes without any noticeable impact on screen
blanking.
However, when screen blanking does break, it appears to go hand in hand
with an unstable gnome session. That is, when I try to restart my gnome
session (I am using X), it results in a desktop crash and I am forced to
log out.
- (on a side note: I noticed the other day that the system also froze when
- I logged out of my second desktop account to return to my main account;
+ (on a side note: I noticed the other day that gnome also broke when I
+ logged out of my second desktop account to return to my main account;
the screen went black and I had to reboot).
The crash does not appear to generate a log but journald has recorded
the following at/around the time that restarting gnome-shell ended in a
crash (reproduced here in reverse order):

** Description changed:
My screen randomly stops blanking, ignoring the interval I set under
Settings > Power > Power Saving Options > Screen blank (8 minutes). This
behaviour behaviour has so far manifested only after I resumed the
system from suspend but that connection is not consistent - more often
than not, the system resumes without any noticeable impact on screen
blanking.
However, when screen blanking does break, it appears to go hand in hand
with an unstable gnome session. That is, when I try to restart my gnome
session (I am using X), it results in a desktop crash and I am forced to
log out.
(on a side note: I noticed the other day that gnome also broke when I
logged out of my second desktop account to return to my main account;
the screen went black and I had to reboot).
The crash does not appear to generate a log but journald has recorded
the following at/around the time that restarting gnome-shell ended in a
- crash (reproduced here in reverse order):
+ crash (the messages are reproduced here in reverse order):
