I can confirm this for Oneiric. It’s not only monitor, all power settings are not respected. I set power settings not to suspend when on AC, but the system suspends regardless after some time.
There is not much use for system settings which have no effect. ** Tags added: oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589100 Title: gnome-power-preferences monitor power settings not respected when running laptop stationary Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Reproduce bug: - Open up gnome-power-preferences on a laptop - set time until monitor powers off to 30 minutes for stationary - set time until monitor powers off to 10 minutes when running on battery - Insert battery into your laptop but stay connected to power cord - Play a video and touch nothing - Monitor will power off after 10 minutes What I did not check out is, if it matters which of both times has been set first. IMO this is two bugs in one. First: if I got two separate settings, they should be respected appropriately. Second: I do not want my monitor to power off while playing video, not activating screen-saver works, but gnome-power-manager should be aware of video as well.
