• Bug#1064855: xfce4-power-manager: Display is shutdown despite activity

    From ael@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 26 19:00:01 2024
    Package: xfce4-power-manager
    Version: 4.18.3-2
    Severity: normal

    Since the recent update on testing, several things are broken.

    1) The display shuts down ignoring activity rendering machine useless.
    I have to inactivate the "Display power management" entirely.

    2) "Suspend" is now completely broken, and requires a reboot! Echos of
    Windoze : I am not quite sure if this is also the power manager.

    Whereas before pressing the "sleep" key reliably just suspended this
    machine which then resumed properly on another press,
    now:

    a) The "sleep" key displays a whole menu of icons. Clicking on the
    "Suspend" icon does appear to suspend.

    b) However, on pressing the "sleep" key again does at least reactivate
    the display. However both the keyboard and mouse are inactive, so the
    only option is to cycle power.

    I wish I could offer some diagnostics.... but where is the documentation?
