Mike Ferreira, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest server release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://releases.ubuntu.com/raring/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- 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: Incomplete 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.
