Description Nicolò Chieffo 2010-06-05 22:27:22 UTC 
In this scenario screen blanking does not work anymore.

This problem appears when I 'boot' an instance of android emulator, which is a 32bit app in my 64bit ubuntu.
After clicking start->launch on the emulator, g-p-m starts to print the error when the screen timeout occurs, and even after exiting from the emulator this problem remains. Restarting g-p-m does not help.
The only way to solve this is to run 'xset dpms force off' and g-p-m will automatically recover itself.

Can this be a bug in the android emulator software?

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-power-manager/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
