Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
This bug can be regenerated b y setting the sleep time to a higher value
than the screen saver time.
It took me a while to actually find out that the reason my laptop was
going to blank screen was from the screen saver and not from the power
management. I kept on increasing the sleep time using "power
management", but nothing happened until I realized there is another
variable being set by "screensaver preferences". Users usually go to
power management to set this value. Having another variable controlled
by screensaver preferences is very confusing, especially when the
default screensaver is "blank screen". Ubuntu needs to synchronize these
two processes.
Recommendation:
I strongly believe that "Screensaver Preferences" should be merged with "Power
Management Preferences". The new UI should clearly let the user know that his
screen is going blank because Screensaver time is 10 minutes and the theme is
"blank screen".
