Public bug reported: Using chromium 59 on an up to date 17.10 and watching a full screen video, the screensaver kicks in after 5 minutes. It should be suppressed. This only happens in chrome/chromium. Firefox is unaffected. Unfortunately my TV provider doesn't support Firefox, so I have to use Chrome.
Steps to reproduce. In Settings -> Power -> Set Blank screen to 5 minutes Open chromium Play a long video such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX6kn9_U8qk Full screen (and optionally mute) the video Leave computer alone Expected result 10 hours of video plays Actual result After 5 minutes, the screen goes blank ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: chromium-browser 59.0.3071.109-0ubuntu1.1360 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.11.0-10.15-generic 4.11.8 Uname: Linux 4.11.0-10-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.6-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME DRM.card0-DP-1: enabled: disabled dpms: Off status: disconnected edid-base64: modes: DRM.card0-DP-2: enabled: disabled dpms: Off status: disconnected edid-base64: modes: DRM.card0-HDMI-A-2: enabled: disabled dpms: Off status: disconnected edid-base64: modes: DRM.card0-eDP-1: enabled: enabled dpms: On status: connected edid-base64: AP///////wAw5AYEAAAAAAAXAQSVHxF46tyVo1hVoCYNUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBujaArHA4JEA8JDUANa8QAAAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/gBMRyBEaXNwbGF5CiAgAAAA/gBMUDE0MFdGMS1TUEoxAHk= modes: 1920x1080 Date: Mon Aug 7 14:24:55 2017 Desktop-Session: 'ubuntu-wayland' 'None' 'None' DetectedPlugins: Env: 'None' 'None' InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-08-02 (4 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Alpha amd64 (20170712) InstalledPlugins: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins: => libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so (size: 18920 bytes, mtime: Sun Jul 23 18:08:04 2017) Load-Avg-1min: 0.54 Load-Processes-Running-Percent: 0.1% MachineType: LENOVO 20BV001BUK ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.11.0-10-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=20b4dfc6-b888-4543-b51f-3346a19a0e18 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: chromium-browser UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 01/27/2016 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: JBET56WW (1.21 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20BV001BUK dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: 0B98417 WIN dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: None dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrJBET56WW(1.21):bd01/27/2016:svnLENOVO:pn20BV001BUK:pvrThinkPadT450:rvnLENOVO:rn20BV001BUK:rvr0B98417WIN:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNone: dmi.product.name: 20BV001BUK dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T450 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO modified.conffile..etc.default.chromium-browser: [deleted] ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug artful wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1709084 Title: Screensaver not suppressed when watching full screen video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1709084/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
