We should get sign off on this from the ubuntu-devel mailing list before making this change, as it changes behaviour. The new behaviour makes sense, as there does not seem to be an advantage to blanking the screen like this, but there might be some people who object -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869017 Title: Ubuntu server enables screenblanking, concealing crashdumps (DPMS is not used) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kbd/+bug/869017/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

We probably ought to handle this in either console-setup or kbd.

[Bug 869017] Re: Ubuntu server enables screenblanking, concealing crashdumps (DPMS is not used)
Hi Fabio, This isn't about xorg - this is about the text mode screen console that the kernel provides. It seems to be driven by drivers/tty/vt/vt.c , and adding consoleblank=0 kernel parameter disables the behaviour. I'd suggest making that the default for the server edition.
