Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
system: intrepid(amd64) with all current updates on a Samsung Q45 laptop problem scenario: I boot up ubuntu and everything works smoothly. However when I leave the laptop running/idling for several hours (power-on in the morning.. get back from work) it either is very unresponsive and suffers from very heavy hdd access to an extent that it takes up to a minute to log in to a terminal session or it sometimes (but not as often) won't respond anymore at all - just a blank screen. I don't have any screensavers configured so I assume the screen is blanked by power preferences. I am not running any special software or tasks. Mostly when idling it is just firefox/evolution/pidgin. When I check top in this troublesome state I cannot spot a responsible process. Redrawing of X applications takes very long and usually the system recovers again after some minutes. I realize this report is terribly lacking in terms of details but I don't see what else I could report that would be of use. The problem arises basically whenever I leave the laptop running for an extended time. If there is any way that I can make this report more usable, let me know. This behavior is rather annoying/troublesome. ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- system unresponsive/thrashing after long idle time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
