[Bug 231044] New: Installation Update - unattended screen blanks
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231044 Summary: Installation Update - unattended screen blanks Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@tpg.com.au QAContact: jsrain@novell.com During an update installation if the PC is left unattended for some time the screen will blank out if disk changes are not made immediately. Historically, we have invented GUI installations and former fuel gauges so that the user will not think the installation has frozen by assuring the user some activity is taking place. Giving the user a totally blank screen at ANY stage of an installation is begging the user to see no HDD disk light blinking and the ARE going to by instinct hit the reset button, well before they try the keyboard. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

This is an X11 issue. The screen saver should be disabled during installation. BTW I observed the same behaviour updating to 10.2. This is really annoying. I think ms would be the right person for this issue. This sounds like something for the inst-sys /etc/X11/xorg.conf or for the start scripts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The Monitor section of the inst-sys configuration doesn't include DPMS which means it is not activated by default. I have no clue why the screen should go black except the screen itself provides some kind of power save Stefan could you imagine what could cause this effect ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It might choose to go black if it is only to display black content, but during installation you always have some greyish dialog open. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
