idle function occurrs when its turned off

[jc91]

My acer aspire 5315, goes idle after about one minute. Even though i have deactivated it in the power management menu.

I am using ubuntu 9.04

This bug is extremely annoying, I'm sure someone else will have encountered this problem

thanks

Hey jc91 :),

Would you mind telling us what distrorelease you are using? It makes triaging a helluvalot easier :D.

Cheers,
Ben

im using ubuntu 9.04, desktop edition

[Ben Crisford (bencrisford)]

Cheers for updating :).

Would you mind elaborating on idle? Do you mean the display is turned off? Or the PC goes into hibernate?

After under a minute of me not touching this mouse or keyboard the screen will go dull but doesn't actually turn off. When I touch the mouse or keyboard the screen will go back to its original state.

thanks

Ah, ok.

Also:
> Even though i have deactivated it in the power management menu.
Would you mind uploading an screenshot of the appropriate section of the power management menu. (By appropriate section I mean from what state you get the bug - AC power, or battery power).

That'd be great :),

[jc91 (johncooksey06)]

well the state is AC power and battery

i have uploaded a screen shot of my setting for AC power, hopes that ok

thanks

If it does in fact put the display to sleep after a minute or so, the screenshot cannot lie and therefore I think I can confirm this.

If anyone thinks otherwise - feel free to change the status back to 'New' or 'Invalid' as always with my status changes.

Ben

Do you still experience this bug in Lucid or Maverick?
