TJ: It's hard to say whether it would be worth building a library for apps to do suspend inhibiting because much of it is app dependent and most of it is a case of just using dbus which is a library anyway. Take a look at http://live.gnome.org/GnomePowerManager/FAQ (although be careful with the python examples - they are old and don't work on Gutsy, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472812 ).
Supposedly rhythmbox has a plugin to some of this for local playing files already - http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/rhythmbox/trunk/plugins /power-manager/ . I don't think that this is working on Gutsy though (perhaps the dbus path needs updating?). -- Autosuspend should be inhibited when music is streaming to others via DAAP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136604 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
