Public bug reported:
My Ubuntu screensaver does not blank the screen, ie, it does not turn
off the backlights on my monitor.
I dual boot, and my Win10 install does it with no problems, so it's not
a hardware thing.
What happens is after a period of inactivity, Ubuntu will put up the
lock screen, then the backlights will go off for a few seconds and then
come back on. I get a perpetual lock-screen that way. I can log back in
with no problems. I fact, the rest of the install seems to be just fine.
