This is fixed already in Karmic isn't it? The preferences dialog has the option to apply settings system-wide now, and the GDM session has it's own g-p-m process which can pick up these settings ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on gdm login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162124 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upstream (gnome) is the best place for this bug. The GPM developers have their hand in everything involving power management, and would be the place to get things like this fixed. Their website is: http://projects.gnome.org/gnome-power-manager/ If you post a bug there, please post a link to the upstream report on this report as well. Also, the issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Karmic Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on gdm login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162124 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 162124] Re: Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on gdm login screen
Will gnome know what to do with this? The gnome-power-manager process runs as the current user, wheras we're claiming that this should be run as an OS function through eg. acpi-scripts. I guess they could edit the acpi script config in their little power management tool... This just sounds to me like it needs some guidance from Ubuntu first, since any fix is going to involve the gnome UI doing something with acpi scripts or something similar. Isn't gnome primarily just for user-level desktop? -- Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on gdm login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162124 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 162124] Re: Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on gdm login screen
I consider this a serious bug. (Scenario 1: another laptop user logs out*, closes the lid, and you find yourself without any battery power for the rest of the day. Scenario 2: log out, close the laptop lid, pack in luggage and the laptop overheats.) There is a work-around fortunately. Edit /etc/acpi/event/lidbtn and change the action line to action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh (The lid.sh script doesn't seem to do anything remotely useful. Surely default should be sleep.) * I've trained my niece to log herself out of machines when she's done so that other people won't use her account. I don't want to retrain her the other way round. -- Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on gdm login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162124 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, it may not be a bug, but it is either a lack of a desired feature, or an omission from the documentation. (I.e.
