[Bug 1372409] Re: The monitor won't wake up after going to sleep (initiated by locking, automatic or manual)

 

Jan Corazza, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1372409

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already
available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be
helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Description changed:

- UPDATE: After around ten minutes of inactivity, it is again possible to
- wake the monitor from sleep!
- 
  I am using the 3.16.3 kernel (edit: now 3.17 RC6!) and Mesa/drivers/Xorg
  from the Oibaf PPA - but this also happens when using drivers from the
  regular repositories.
  
- I would say that this bug is CRITICAL, because you can lose important
- work.
- 
  Steps to reproduce:
- 
  1. Lock computer (Ctrl+Alt+L) or let it lock itself automatically
  2. Wait a few seconds for the monitor to shut down (LED blue->yellow and displayed warning)
  3. Try to wake it up
  
  Expected behavior: the monitor is woken up and the Ubuntu lock screen is
  displayed
  
  Actual behavior: the monitor stays off, black screen
  
  Additional information:
- 
   - Suspending and resuming works fine.
   - Switching to a TTY doesn't work either, but the keyboard is responding (can turn caps lock on/off).
   - I have to restart the computer to get it in a working state after this happens. (therefore SEVERE)
- 
- It works on these configurations:
- 
-  - proprietary AMD drivers (fglrx) - this works.
-  - kernel 3.13 (default)
- 
- Relevant hardware:
- 
-  - graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7790
   - monitor: HP ZR2330w
  
- My current solution:
+ WORKAROUND: Don't lock the computer, and disable automatic lock in
+ Brightness & Lock settings.
  
- Not locking the computer, and disabling automatic lock in Brightness &
- Lock settings (set to Never). I did not disable suspending, because as I
- said, that worked.
+ WORKAROUND: Use proprietary AMD drivers (fglrx).
  
- AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION:
- ====================
+ WORKAROUND: Use kernel 3.13.
