Same here on Utupic. Interestingly enough calling inhibit seems to be working just fine, only uninhibiting is buggy.
As a result programs like caffeine don't work any more as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388759 Title: powersaving/screensaver UnInhibit method times out over DBus Status in “unity-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I use Inhibit/UnInhibit methods over dbus (name: 'org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver', path: '/ScreenSaver', interface: 'org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver') to control computers power saving. In Trusty (14.04) everything works fine. In Utopic (14.10) I noticed that UnInhibit delays its reply for about 25 seconds. Tested using python-dbus and GDBus from python-gi. When calling this method synchronously with default timeout I get an error (NoReply). This kind of behavior can brake many applications dependent on this functionality. Increasing timeout over 25 seconds seems to help but it is a long time for application to freeze. Calling method with noreply flag helps to execute UnInhibit instantly from applications side but next call to Inhibit still delays.
