Description Joan Tur 2008-03-13 23:48:07 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Hi.  I've set the screen to be powered off after 2 minutes (kcontrol -> peripherals -> monitor & display), and the screensaver is set to be on after 2 minutes also, and to lock the screen after 240 seconds; I've used the default setting (no screensaver selected) and the "blank screen" one with no luck.

The above settings worked for me with another laptop & the same distro (upgraded from previous versions of kubuntu); with my actual one (Sony Vaio TX3XP) it doesn't -it's a clean Ubuntu 7.10 install using old .kde directory-.  The actual behaviour is:

1. after 2 minutes of inactivity the screen is correctly powered off,
2. 2-3 seconds after that the screen is again powered on, showing a black screen

Turning the screensaver off makes everything work (the screen is turned off after 2 minutes of inactivity), BUT it never gets locked (it's a laptop, so it's used everywhere...).

Thanks! ;)

If you are the same person as orzel@kde.org (one developer account),  then you should have the permission when using that email address together with some non-empty real name  for you bugzilla account.

I am this one. I've added my name in preferences/account information,
but I'm not sure it's enough. The 'permissions' tab is empty. Not sure
if it is ok.

Anyway thanks for modifying the ticket

Hmm, you should use orzel@kde.org as the login email for you bugzilla account, too, since sysadmins only knew orzel@kde.org was developer account and had no idea about orzel@freehackers.org.   If you still don't have the permission after changing email address, file a sysadmin ticket at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=sysadmin&component=bugzilla&format=guided
