Bug Description
[IMPACT]
* Regardless of settings in the "Brightness and Lock" Panel, screen will power off after 10mins.
As part of the new lock-screen in gnome-shell 3.6 (when running on gdm), a watchdog timer, that disables the builtin X screensaver was moved into gnome-settings-
Since Quantal is still using gnome-settings-
This is an upstream git patch take from gnome-settings-
[Test case]
1. Run gnome-shell from gdm.
2. Set "Turn screen Off" in Brightness/lock panel to Never
3. Wait 10mins and the screen will turn off.
[Workaround]
Install gnome-settings-
[Regression Potential]
The code in this patch was copied from gnome-screensaver into gnome-settings-
=== Original Bug report ===
Just updated to the latest quantal today and then tried to watch a movie in Totem. Screen powered off every 10 minutes, reliably. Tried setting the power save to 'never', or to '1 hour', tried it with auto screen lock on or off, screen always powers off after 10 minutes exactly.
