Hi nightflow, Initially when I used the command you posted, every time a signal was received with a member value ActiveChanged, the display was turned off immediately. So for some bizarre reason the interface name was totally ignored (e.g. when I plugged in/unplugged my USB pendrive, the display was turned off immediately, because the member value matched the one I was looking for, even though the interface was different). But I have just repeated the test a couple times, and now it seems to be working fine. I have no idea what happened last time, or why it is working now.
Anyway, with your help, now this problem is solved (on my machine at least) -thank you for your help! -- Power Manager Not putting Monitor to Sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550054 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
