For my (work) Dell D820 running 9.10 (karmic), the fix in #22 worked. I was able to ssh into my laptop and run the ' vbetool dpms on ' command to get the screen back on when testing, which was handy. Ctrl-alt-f1/ alt-f7 did not work.
I should note that I have another local user defined which has default gconf values for gnome-power-manager (and others), and it did not appear to exhibit the problem with the screen blanking and not returning. If there is interest I can try to test that further. -- Screen locks up black on laptop lid close. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49521 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
