Okay, thanks for the debugging steps. This seems to be multiple issues. As Kai Jauch confirmed, the settings are indeed reverting to default after logout/login or reboot. That is issue #1 and is primary to the original bug report. To be fair, setting the option to suspend upon laptop lid closed has not been working for me in Karmic for some time. Worked fine with Intrepid and Jaunty. This compounds the issue, but here are some results from debugging:
1.)Reset power options to default with: $ gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-power-manager 2.)Launching Preferences>Power Management shows most drop lists are blank or say "Do nothing". Specifically, under the Battery Power tab, laptop lid closed has "Do Nothing" selected. 3.)$ killall gnome-power-manager 4.)$ gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon 5.)close laptop lid, screen is blank 6.)open laptop lid, screen is displayed 7.)use the battery applet in panel to suspend, wait 30 second while suspended, resume from suspend 8.)terminal shows: (gnome-power-manager:3755): devkit-power-gobject-DEBUG: DBUS timed out, but recovering 9.)open Preferences>Power Management. Select Battery Tab, change option for laptop lid closed to suspend 9.)close laptop lid. screen is blank. no suspend. setting is ignored 10.)open laptop lid. screen is displayed. 11.)open Preferences>Power Management. Select Battery Tab, observe laptop lid closed option is now set to "Blank screen" Any more info I could provide to help with this? -- Power Management Settings Are Not Applied / Retained https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
