I'm reopening the unity-system-compositor task, because the bug still exists there. Even if oxide will lift the screen lock when unfocused, who's to say other apps will behave well, too?
We need to make sure that only the foreground app can request a screen lock, which means we need to refactor how it works and have the shell proxy the requests to u-s-c. ** Changed in: unity-system-compositor (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-system-compositor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1502145 Title: Apps can keep screen lit permanently Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in Oxide: In Progress Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity-system-compositor package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: rc-proposed, r140, krillin There are times when it seems the display blanking policy stops working and the display stays on until I press the power button. Steps to reproduce: * install and start Siete * put it in background Expected outcome: * the display is switched off after a predetermined amount of time Actual outcome: * the display stays on forever ====== Now that apps can request the screen to stay on, they can do so regardless of whether they're focused/visible or not.
