> I understand that the original reporter said that he got it working with setterm, but as by convention these bug reports often require verification from others in order to get any attention, it seems only reasonable that after many have said that the DPMS power saving is what is not working, while simple blanking and leaving the monitor on is what is currently happening, that this bug should not have been marked invalid.
I disagree. The reporter accidentally conflated DPMS with the intentional screen blanking change we made. This muddles every subsequent comment. As the reporter said that the problem was resolved, clearly it is the bug subject that was mistaken. The bug status is correct for the original problem the reporter had intended to report. If instead you think the reporter thought they were reporting was actually something else, and the bug subject was correct, then I guess that's self-consistent and you're entitled to think that, but this is only going to lead to further confusion. I suggest you file a separate bug if you think that there is a bug in DPMS. Please make sure to use an appropriate bug subject and a clear explanation in the bug description (steps to reproduce, expected behaviour, actual behaviour, etc) and then hopefully there will be clarity on exactly what you are reporting and then the community can determine the correct status of your issue as any outcome emerges. ** Summary changed: - Console DPMS is not enabled by default in Ubuntu Server 18.04 + Console blanking is not enabled by default in Ubuntu Server 18.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767568 Title: Console blanking is not enabled by default in Ubuntu Server 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1767568/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
