If I leave it alone when the notification appears, it does indeed suspend successfully. That's not my concern in this bug. I'm more looking at the notification with no idea what it actually means. The fact I had to run some dbus monitor utility to find that out says it's not a very good notification :)
Perhaps instead of "Power 1 new notification" It should say "Power Computer will suspend very soon because of inactivity" -- 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/1709194 Title: Power notification appears with no detail Status in gnome-power-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I locked my laptop screen. Some time later a notification appeared (see screenshot). "Power" "1 new notification" If I move the mouse the notification disappears. If I unlock the laptop there are no notifications pending anywhere. I have no idea where this text comes from or what it means. Is my battery low? is it full? Is there some other issue?
