Package: debian-installer (i386) Version: 20150422 Severity: normal Tags: d-i
With preseed installation (bare metal) of Jessie screen goes black in 10 minutes though there is parameter "dpms=false": APPEND vga=788 auto=true priority=critical interface=eth0 url= http://192.168.0.100/preseed_jessie.cfg initrd=netboot_debian_jessie_32bit/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz netcfg/dhcp_timeout=120 hw-detect/load_firmware=false dpms=false desktop=xfce suite=jessie Same situation with installation (bare metal) without GUI, even the consoleblank=0 does not prevent screen to go blank: APPEND vga=788 auto=true priority=critical interface=eth0 url= http://192.168.0.100/preseed_jessie.cfg initrd=netboot_debian_jessie_32bit/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz netcfg/dhcp_timeout=120 hw-detect/load_firmware=false dpms=false consoleblank=0 tasks=standard suite=jessie Is that timeout hardcoded to d-i, consoleblank=0 has no effect, and no X on CLI install? After installation adding consoleblank=0 to /etc/default/grup && update-grub works normally. netboot.tar.gz from: http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/gtk/ Related bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695270 Not a critical thing, but its annoying to keep hitting the key to power up display to see how the installation is going. IMHO whole screensaver feature could be disabled, it was usefull with old CRTs, but dont think it's needed nowadays... more of a nuisance.
