Public bug reported:
nopam and apm=off now has no effect in Ubuntu Server versions 11.04 and
11.10. I noticed this in 11.04 alpha thru release and 11.10 prealpha
thru alpha3. These 2 kernel boot options should turn off APM (power
management) and prevent the console monitor from going blank at the 10
minute default.
Have looked for 8 months for a workaround or alternative. Desktop
Edition kernel versions do-not have this problem-- There was a test case
where a server edition kernel had desktop package installed and the
server kernel updated... when then there was no problem <> But the
native-unchanged server kernel is affected by this problem.
According to past experience with Ubuntu Desktop and Server Edition
versions earlier than 11.04 (8.04 through 10.10), Ubuntu Server's kernel
had a default apm setting of being on, and having the default tty text
console set to turn off (blank) at 10 minutes. In a production
monitoring environment this is not always desirable.
# I'm reporting this from another node on my network, but including the
apport report from it.
