The problem seems present in 19.04. My monitor stays ON, exactly as described in this bug.
And not much work seems to have been done on this bug? Is the rc.local fix good enough for blanking, or actual monitor stand by? Moe importantly, could we find exactly on what file or package 16.04 differs from 18.04 so we can revert, or improve the change properly. I guess we might need to fine grain those change increments, to find which is the first Ubuntu version where this took place. 16.04 vs 16.10 vs 17.04 vs 17.10 vs 18.04 Does installing with live-server vs alternate have any effect on this? Some of these questions are answered easily, and I guess I can start trying clean installs of various Ubuntu servers. too see which is the first to break. IDK when I'll start, so anyone is also welcome to do so. -- 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/1767568 Title: Console DPMS Nonfunctional in Ubuntu Server 18.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My console display is DPMS capable, i.e., power management functions worked before upgrading from Ubuntu Server 16.0.4.4. Currently the display stays on 24x7 with idle keyboard input. 1) My release information is as follows: Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 2) I am not sure what package this issue is tied to. The current kernel appears to have DPMS support enabled, per the configuration file in /boot. If the kernel is responsible, below is the version I am running. linux-generic: Installed: 4.15.0.20.23 3) I expected to have DPMS support for my console as in the previous release of Ubuntu Server. 4) What happened instead is my monitor stays on all the time, without DPMS controlling it. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k4.15.0-20-generic.
