Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2013 3:39 pm Post subject: Copying numerous files to USB results in screen blanking? |
|
|
Hello.
I have noticed that if I copy several files to an USB mounted disk, or to an SD-Card, my screen turns black, and cannot be turned on again. I cannot even switch to a VT with Ctrl+Alt+F1.
I ssh'ed into the machine and tried to kill as many apps as I could, but nothing helped. Even after the cp finished, I had to reboot the machine as nothing would turn the screen on.
This is on an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, according to lspci.
The computer runs perfectly fine otherwise.
Any hint/idea?
Thanks.

Tell us more, what filesystem , which file manager , which desktop envrionement, and can you get logs or enable a system logger and check what happens. |

You're right, I've been careless.
This is on an ext4 root system, with XFCE. The USB/SD-Card file systems are vfat.
I've found this in the /var/log/message, I guess this is it:

I guess I'll post on the i915 module development mailing list.
Thanks for the hints.

As a workaround, you might want to try to disabling dpms --- it looks like the driver has issues reviving the screen after dpms blanking. |
