I see quite a bit of good input on comment #8 just above. Commenting on point 8 about the doc bug, this is probably what you are after:
file:///usr/share/doc/gnome-power-manager/gnome-power- manager-2.24.0/spec/dbus-interface.html#dbus-inhibit I would like to add one more "feature request" to Bela's list above, although implementing this is would be more complicated: (9) g-p-m: When an application is suspending, perhaps g-p-m can issue a command via dbus (or whatever reasonable means) to applications such as vlc to pause playing. If it succeeds, then suspend will continue as usual. This would be a nice feature, as applications don't have to always force its "will" to g-p-m (i.e. inhibiting suspend). It is not critical for a playback to be paused automatically if we want to suspend the computer. But of course there are circumstances where we don't want g-p-m to suspend no matter what, such as formatting disk, burning a CD/DVD, etc. -- Multiple applications have stopped the suspend from taking place. vlc : Playing some media https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290753 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
