The screen does not go blank, so the other power management functions are correctly inhibited. Steps to reproduce: 1. On a laptop that supports screen dimming while idle, ensure the that power manager is set to dim the screen after a certain period of time. 2. Play a video in a media player that supports inhibiting power management functions (i.e. VLC or Parole) Actual Results: The screen dims after the specified period of time. Expected Results: The screen will not dim after the specified period of time while a video is playing as the power management functions should be inhibited. OS Information: Xubuntu 18.04. Note: I originally submitted this bug report on the Xubuntu bug tracker, but I was asked to submit it here.

[Bug 1772325] Re: Screen dims while a video is playing in VLC
Sadly, that does not tell us much. The power manager does the screen dimming, but it should not in this scenario. At this point I can only suggest to open a report on the Xfce bug tracker. https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ ** Changed in: xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772325 Title: Screen dims while a video is playing in VLC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1772325/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Here it is.

[Bug 1772325] Re: Screen dims while a video is playing in VLC
Okay. I guess it is worth to check the power manager debug output then: killall xfce4-power-manager; xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug Run this command, wait until the screen is dimmed and attach the terminal output to this report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772325 Title: Screen dims while a video is playing in VLC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1772325/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, I just checked using Parole and it still dimmed. I don't know it is relevant, but I found another bug report with the same symptoms (dims while video plays, but other power management features work) in Linux Mint in Cinnamon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1332316 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772325 Title: Screen dims while a video is playing in VLC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1772325/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Does that only happen with VLC? ** Changed in: xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772325 Title: Screen dims while a video is playing in VLC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1772325/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
