My desktop machine just went into standby after exactly 30 minutes of inactivity although standby is disabled in the control center. After finding this bug I looked at the values of the dconf settings above. sleep-inactive-ac was set to false (with a timeout of 0). However, sleep-inactive-battery was set to true with a timeout of 1800.
For me, this looks like the actual setting used is always the -battery setting, not the -ac setting (even on a desktop machine). Can anyone verify this? -- 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/860485 Title: bad default setting: suspend after 30min when plugged in Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: By default power setting is set to 'suspend after 30 min when plugged in' it should be 'Don't suspend' ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.19-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Sep 27 13:36:56 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-07-12 (77 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/860485/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
