I can confirm this for Oneiric. It’s not only monitor, all power settings are not respected. I set power settings not to suspend when on AC, but the system suspends regardless after some time.
There is not much use for system settings which have no effect. ** Tags added: oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589100 Title: gnome-power-preferences monitor power settings not respected when running laptop stationary To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/589100/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
