This is still and issue with 9.10 and 10.04 b2 (lucid- desktop-i386_2010-04-12_0812). The screensaver should care about USER inactivity while powersave should also be concerned with system activity.
A diff of two hard drives that contain more than 200 GBs each will take quite some time. Powersave should not kick in during this process but the screensaver should work as configured by the user. This will require two separate notions of inactivity, one for the screensaver only and one for both powersave and the screensaver. Shutdown, NOT suspend should be the default action when the power button is pushed. There are many cases when a hung system can only be addressed by removing power or forcing a shutdown. Shutting a hung system via the power button will do less harm that simpply removing power. Finally, hibernate and NOT suspend should be the powersave default because data will be lost during suspend if power is lost. -- Power Management FAILS most of the time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355996 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
