[Bug 1111547] Re: screenblank.sh script shuts down disrupts wireless connection

[Steve Langasek]

Nothing in this script should do anything with the wireless; it includes
/usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank, which just does the following:

if [ `pidof xscreensaver` ]; then
        su $user -c "(xscreensaver-command -throttle)"
                if [ x$LOCK_SCREEN = xtrue ]; then      
                su $user -c "(xscreensaver-command -lock)"
        fi
elif [ `pidof dcopserver` ]; then
        dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
fi

xset dpms force off
if [ x$RADEON_LIGHT = xtrue ]; then
    [ -x /usr/sbin/radeontool ] && radeontool light off
fi

Can you step through this, to figure out which of these commands is
causing the wireless to drop?

Title:
  screenblank.sh script shuts down disrupts wireless connection

Status in “acpi-support” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have noticed that running the screenblank.sh script (at
  /etc/acpi/screenblank.sh) disrupts the wireless connection. The
  connection is cut off and the wireless device can no longer
  successfully scan for wireless connections until after its switched
  off and on again.

  Please tell me how I can help solving this problem.
