Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Version references: Xubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), gnome-power-manager version
2.24.0-0ubuntu8.1, vlc/vlc-nox version 0.9.4-1ubuntu3 .
Hardware reference: Dell Lattitude D600 (Pentium M, 768 MB RAM).
I am filing this bug against gnome-power-manager first, but the blame
could lie on vlc.
I am playing an M3U list containing a mix of OGG and MP3 files with vlc
(the GUI one). After I stopped the vlc (using stop button), I tried to
suspend using the usual key (Fn+Esc). Then a pop up showed on the bottom
of the screen, saying this:
Request to do policy action
Multiple actions have stopped the policy action from taking place.
vlc: Playing some media.
vlc: Playing some media.
(yes, the last line is duplicated). This is the first time it ever
happened to me. Now, I cannot suspend the machine via Fn+Esc, and
pressing power button (which usually brings up the suspend-hibernate-
poweroff-reboot prompt) also pops the same message like above. What's
even more silly, is that the message repeats in new pop up windows if I
press Fn+Esc again and again. (But that's not the focus of my bug; I
just want to bring that up.)
I then closed the vlc program gracefully. Yet the gnome-power-manager
still denies the suspend for me after vlc quits. What's going on here? I
remember that last time this situation happened, the "denial" was
removed when I closed vlc (but I don't remember whether it was on pause
or on stop.)
