Public bug reported: When I close the lid of my laptop, gnome-power-manager always throttles the screensaver (as indicated by the following output): $ gnome-screensaver --debug --no-daemon |& grep -i throttle [listener_add_ref_entry] gs-listener-dbus.c:716 (10:53:12): adding throttler from Power screensaver for reason 'Laptop lid is closed' on connection :1.18 [listener_check_throttle] gs-listener-dbus.c:353 (10:53:12): Checking for throttle [list_ref_entry] gs-listener-dbus.c:279 (10:53:12): throttler: Power screensaver for reason: Laptop lid is closed [gs_listener_set_throttle] gs-listener-dbus.c:340 (10:53:12): Changing throttle status: 1
However, this should not happen when external displays are connected, as it is the case for me. 1) Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) gnome-power-manager: Installed: 2.32.0-2ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.32.0-2ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.32.0-2ubuntu2 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) Screensaver should activate on external display, even when laptop lid closed. 4) Screen is blanked only due to throttling. ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829332 Title: closing laptop lid incorrectly throttles screensaver, even with external display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/829332/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
