Disable monitor suspend while upgrading to a newer distribution version

[Ettore Atalan]

Hi

Upgrading to a newer distribution version mostly works very well, but the monitor switches off after some time with no user input. This is normally quite useful on notebooks to save some battery power, but a big problem during upgrade when the monitor doesn't turn on again.

If you think that the system crashed due to an ACPI bug and reset, the Ubuntu installation gets corrupted and with no luck in recovery you have to reinstall the entire system. :(

I think that actually this is fixed setting the screen to never in system settings, so I close this report
Feel free to report any other issue you may find
Thanks

Oops, you probably are telling that update-manager has to do this automatically ?

Yes, of course.

A little workaround for a safer upgrade.

Resetting to Triaged/Wishlist per request from njin on the #ubuntu-bugs channel.

Duh, just noted I set the status to 'in progress'. Sorry, reset to triaged.
