**Just to clear things up: The problem seems to be related to the update process from Jaunty to Karmic and not Karmic itself. As when I made a clean install for Karmic, the problem completely disappeared. [Conclusion:- As a workaround, you can try a clean install from scratch]
**So, can all you please confirm doing an update form Jaunty to Karmic? -- Gnome Power Manager fails to put display to sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431146 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
