My Kubuntu 12.04 system updated to xsetting-kde-0.12.3-0ubuntu2.1 a few hours ago. A reboot or restart of the xserver was requested. After a reboot the video display began blanking (black screen) every 2 or 3 seconds. I had to move the mouse to keep the display visible.
I opened a Konsole and issued: xset dpms 0 0 0 and the blanking stopped. However, some video events (starting a youtube video or opening a PDF) restarts the blanking and the above command has to be repeated. Settings in the "Power Settings" option of the battery monitor have no effect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to xsettings-kde in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002811 Title: sleep() call causing unnecessary wake ups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsettings-kde/+bug/1002811/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
