[Bug 1433059] Re: Screen not dimmed after period of inactivity.

 

eezacque, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97PROWiFi_ac/HelpDesk_Download/
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(2205). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Screen not dimmed after period of inactivity.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Sooner or later, the screen stops getting dimmed after a set period of inactivity; only a reboot solves this.
  As a result, the implied request for password upon screen dim doesn't take place, either
