Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, KDE 4.1.4.
KDE 4.1.x has a power-consuming bug: as long as a screensaver is set (even if set to blank), monitor DPMS standby/poweroff won't work. AFAIK there's a blank screensaver by default, this means that too many kubuntu computers around the world keep wasting monitor power when idle. KDE fixed this on 4.2: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165265 I think we should backport to Interpid. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- KDE blank screensaver overrides monitor DPMS standby https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333034 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
