Comment: Addendum: I killed gpm, and let the machine run overnight. The monitor was still on and running this morning. Gpm is definitely the culprit; seeminly, it ignores the "Put display to sleep when inactive for:" slider, and does what it wants to do (which, seemingly, puts the computer to sleep after 20 minutes of "inactivity", where "inactivity" means "not using the mouse and keyboard for anything".) -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
