[Bug 1094452] New: console blanking and power saving disabled by default?
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1094452 Bug ID: 1094452 Summary: console blanking and power saving disabled by default? Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: per@computer.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- It appears that Leap15 has console blanking disabled by default, in comparison to.e.g. Leap42.3 and older versions. "/sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank" contains 0, meaning blanking is disabled. I see this can be changed at boot time with kernel argument 'consoleblank=xx', or with 'setterm --blank' later on. There must be a default setting somewhere too? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

If I ask in the server world, i.e. linux machines running without X: "How many of them have monitor connected?"
What would you answer?
In my case, I run a datacentre downstairs with 10 19" racks, maybe about 100+ physical servers. The answer is most of them, via KVM switches. Only 3 monitors.
1) minority? Yes, this is the right answer, so the default was changed respecting the majority. 2) other answer? Think about it more and jump to 1).
Jiri, I don't see how "most servers do not have a physical console" should affect the default power saving for those that do ?? It's non-sensical.
It really helps if you have a hanged box to come to it, plug in monitor and see the actual crash (the console is not blanked).
That I can sort of understand.
If you belong to the minority, you still have the opportunity to change it via the parameter. So what's up?
Just reporting a problem or a change, as I see it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
