[mythtv-users] Ubuntu 12.04 upgrade

[Steve Malenfant]

Thanks! My system has been up for 2 years so I really didn't want to
rebuild it all! Removing all nvidia packages and using jockey-gtk worked!

I finally found the "Power Management" settings for blank screen which was
actually under "Brigthness And Lock".
