Re: default screensaver : why not the blank screen ?

2010-03-25 Thread Jérôme Bouat 
It has been fixed on lucid Beta 1.

There still be a big poweroff delay of the screen (30 minutes). Maybe a 
shorter screen poweroff delay by default (~10 minutes) could make Ubuntu 
more energy efficient ?

default screensaver : why not the blank screen ?

2010-03-25 Thread Jérôme Bouat 
Hello,


Because:

- the cost of the energy will increase in the coming years (what ever 
the primary source is)

- a laptop needs to spare its battery

I think that Ubuntu should set the blank screen as default screensaver 
for all its flavour (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu netbook edition, ...).


Could we possibly apply this default configuration before the next LTS 
release ? Since there will be a lot of users, it would save a lot of energy.

Each step can make the world better.


Regards.

the 2nd panel is wasting place in height

2009-09-10 Thread Jérôme Bouat 
Hello,

The default 2nd panel is wasting place in height especially on small 
screens.

The new 13" notebooks have a DVD writer as well as a powerfull processor 
and thus need a Ubuntu desktop version instead of the netbook version.

Moreover, the new displays are mostly with a 16/10 or 16/9 aspect ratio.

Thus I think that having a uniq panel would save place in height and 
make the end user life easier.

Regards.
