Okay, i managed to pin down the culprit. It's gnome-screensaver in combination with virt-manager.
Having the mouse cursor grabbed by virt-manager displaying a kvm session blocks gnome-screensaver activation. Powermanagement blank screen still works. After leaving the kvm window, gnome-screensaver will activate. Steps to reproduce: * Fire up a kvm vm using virt-manager. * Move the mouse into the kvm window * Wait until the screen saver should activate -> screensaver does not activate * Leave the window -> screensaver activates * Move the mouse again -> screensaver deactivates -- Screensaver only activates *after* mouse move https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496873 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
