[Bug 1270957] Re: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity
Hi guys, I've installed 14.04 and I have a similar problem. The screensaver delay is fixed in 300 seconds (5 minutes). I'm doing a sort or desktop lock-down and I've fixed various properties using dconf and it's locks, but I had no luck with the screensaver delay. The key is: /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay and I can change the value and lock it, from the gui and from a profile in /etc/dcon/... In any case the session becomes idle in 300 seconds, , it seems to me that the screen saver uses the default value defined in the file: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.session.gschema.xml The parameter definition is: key type=u name=idle-delay default300/default summaryTime before session is considered idle/summary descriptionThe number of seconds of inactivity before the session is considered idle./description /key As I understand, when the session become idle the screensaver starts, so actually the delay is not a screensaver's property, it is a property of the session. Any ideas if this is correct? maybe it is a bug or am I watching the wrong parameter? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270957 Title: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1270957/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1270957] Re: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity
I have the same problem. After upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10 the screen no longer turns off after a certain time of inactivity. I have tested it also without having any applications open. It behaves consistently the same: the screen does not turn off. Following the advice from the ubuntu forums, when I type xset s 10 to the terminal, then the screen does turn off after 10 seconds (or whatever parameter I give it). However the screen does turn off when using the guest account without any tinkering on the command line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270957 Title: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1270957/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1270957] Re: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity
Hi Yan-hoose, hi All, From my side, I went further in my investigations and I've found an acceptable solution for my case. I read recently that the screen driver might cause some issues due to some incompatibility with Ubuntu 13.10. So I went in System parameters, then Softwares and updates, then the additional drivers tab. I ticked there the first checkbox Usage of server X X.org... (I'm trying to translate from French to English the original text) instead of the 2nd one (Usagve of video driver for... AMD... fglrx-updates...). I've attached the screenshot of the complete window (in French), in case it can help to understand the details. In my case, it fixed 2 issues: - after waking up from a sleeping mode, the computer screen is now able to turn the light off, after a certain time (I found out recently that I encountered this bug only after waking from sleeping mode) - this screen driver is now able to manage correctly the brightness manual change (only difference with the other driver: the brightness levels are now 4 instead of something like 6 or 8 previously, but it's much better than nothing or very random result). The only bug that is remaining for me is that when I close the lid of my laptop, it goes to sleeping mode instead of shutting down (setup made previously with tweak tool). Important detail: my computer is a netbook laptop ACER ASPIRE ONE 722 C62KK (AMD dual core processor c60). ** Attachment added: Screenshot - Ubuntu - System parameters - Additional drivers - 2014-02-08 16:21:29.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1270957/+attachment/3973941/+files/Screenshot%20-%20Ubuntu%20-%20System%20parameters%20-%20Additional%20drivers%20-%202014-02-08%2016%3A21%3A29.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270957 Title: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1270957/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1270957] Re: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity
Hi All, Salut à Tous, This morning, I saw my problem (screen not turning off) again. But now, I understand better the precise context when it occurs. Actually, it seems to be linked with another possible bug. My energy parameter is set with a non standard settings that I made with Tweak Tool: the laptop lid close action on battery/on AC is set with Shutdown. But I've realized recently that my upgrade from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 made my laptop sleep (suspend) instead of shutdown, when I close the lid. The wake up is working fine except that the light is not turning off, in this status. Simplly clicking manually on shutdown fixes the issue... I gave up anyway to use the suspend mode for years, because this mode was really too unstable. So I can consider that I don't have anymore my problem of light not turning off. But I just need now to find a way to get the lid close correctly shutdown the laptop computer. So that's not the same bug anymore, but I'm not sure it's even a real bug. It might also be a wrong setup method that I use (Tweak Tool might be not fully compatible with Ubuntu 13.10). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270957 Title: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1270957/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1270957] Re: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity
Bonjour Sébastien, I've made several trials, about 3 days ago: with or without guest session, then closing some applications , one after the other, but the problem remained. The screen became black, after 1 minute (as defined in settings), but the back light behind didn't turn off. And now, from yesterday, it seems the problem has disappeared: the light is turning off correctly, after the defined time... Strange... I didn't change anything, apart that I let the automatic Ubuntu update install a small change (I don't remember what), yesterday or the day before. No idea if there is a relation. Only new problem: the luminosity level changing, with the key combination shortcut, works sometimes and sometimes not, in an unpredictable way. Strange... Might be a problem with the LCD screen driver (netbook ACER Aspire One, pilote: VESA : WRESTLER). In any case, I presume my bug can be considered as closed, even though all that is strange and quite confused to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270957 Title: 13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1270957/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for your bug report. Does it happen in a guest session as well? What software are running in your session?
