black screen on ctrl-alt-shift--> only wakes up with change of charging connection #50

Closed wytcld closed 10 years ago

wytcld commented 10 years ago

I've just installed the separate partition version, with trusty (since it didn't offer arch) on a new ASUS C200. Ctrl-alt-shift-<- goes back to Chrome, but with ctrl-alt-shift--> it's a blank screen. However unplugging or plugging in the power plug turns the screen on. I've disabled the screen saver, so it's not that. Doesn't matter whether it's plugged into power or not. It's the change of state from one to the other that wakes the screen up. Don't want to have to carry the power cord at all times for that. It stays off with an attempt to ctrl-alt-shift-<- back to Chrome too. Haven't found anything else to bring it back aside from the power plug.

Fixed now, I guess. Turning off the power management options as well as the screen saver did nothing at the time. But after killing the chroot and then starting it up again, no more blank screen problem. Either luck there, or one of these options doesn't take effect in this context until xfce is started again.

Closed this too soon. The suspend function on closing the lid worked fine ... until it didn't. At that point going to Linux again meant going to a black screen that was hard to get out of. Closing and openning the lid would sometimes come up in Chrome after seeing the black screen, but even then switching to Linux sent the screen to black again.

Closing again. Beyond disabling the actions of the screensaver and power manager, I went to xfce's Settings > Session and Startup and disabled those from starting at all. So far so good. No black screens.
