I just installed "console-tools" to see whether this problem exists in this package, too. And it does. The setting "BLANK_TIME" is completely ignored and is set internally to 10 minutes. This seems to be set in the kernel (see linux/drivers/char/console.c). The "setterm" workaround works, however.
Btw: I'm using Ubuntu server. The problem exists on kernel 2.6.27-14-server as well as on kernel 2.6.28-13-server. -- Cannot disable console blanking in /etc/kbd/config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
