-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829846 Title: linux kernel parm apm=off or noapm not working Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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. --- AlsaDevices: total 0 crw------- 1 root root 116, 1 2011-08-21 12:39 seq crw------- 1 root root 116, 33 2011-08-21 12:39 timer AplayDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Architecture: i386 ArecordDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory CurrentDmesg: [ 38.640022] eth0: no IPv6 routers present DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=a23cdc5e-a7f0-4caa-abce-e34479860d19 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110426) IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
