Bug Description

I'm using a Macbook 6,1 with all extra drivers installed as described in the Ubuntu help website's guide. I've noticed that the screensaver function (as part of lock screen, or otherwise) only works when you are plugged into wall power. If you are running on battery, the screen just blanks, but no screensaver is launched. However, manually launching a screensaver binary works as expected, so this is not a bug in a particular screensaver.

Need info:
After how many minutes is the screensaver set to appear? (Check in System -> Preferences -> Screensaver)

After how many minutes is the screen set to sleep when on battery? (Check in System -> Preferences -> Power Management -> When on battery)

Have a nice day :)
