I think there are a number of bugs here. The version I see is.
With "Turn screen off when inactive set to 30 minutes" and "Suspend when inactive for" set to 1 hour. If I come back after an hour the screen has turned off, but the computer has not suspended. When I wake up the screen the dekstop has locked as expected, when I type in my password the dekstop unlocks and shows the "Computer will suspend very soon because of inactivity." dialog. This bug should probably be more like "Computer will suspend very soon because of inactivity." dialog prevents system from suspending. I will call the the Type A version of this bug. I think it the same as Bug #1243174 which is marked as a duplicate of this. Does any one who sees them want to define types B,C, and D! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1232454 Title: "Computer will suspend very soon because of inactivity." dialog when resuming from suspend Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Unknown Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to 13.10 today, every time I unlock my computer after leaving it for a long time I get this prompt: -- Power Automatic suspend Computer will suspend very soon because of inactivity. -- However, the computer doesn't actually suspend. And even if I do this manually (which works) and then resume, the prompt is still there (and in that case, not true at all). This is ugly and seems broken!
