Public bug reported: All Rhythmbox has to do is call a simple dbus method when playing starts, and a simple dbus method when it's paused or stopped. This way g-p-m doesn't auto-suspend or power-down when Rhythmbox is in the middle of playing.
This is important for those who use their computer for music when they are not sitting in front of it. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomePowerManagerInactiveSleep for more information. ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Inhibit Gnome Power Manager from suspending due to inactivity while playing songs https://launchpad.net/bugs/49260 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
