You have been subscribed to a public bug: Assume that "Suspend when inactive for" values in "System Settings / Power" are set to "5 minutes" and "Don't suspend" for columns "On battery power" and "When plugged in".
Now assume that the system has been plugged in and inactive for 6 minutes. Finally, assume that the system becomes unplugged. In Ubuntu 14.04, the system does not suspend. The 5 minute countdown to automatic suspend begins when the unplug event occurs, such that the timeout event occurs 5 minutes later. This behavior is correct. In Ubuntu 14.10, the system automatically suspends immediately after the unplug event occurs. This behavior is incorrect. Or minimally, this behavior is undesired in the normal case. The 5 minute timeout was intended to protect against battery energy being drained during a continued period of the system being inactive AND unplugged. In this case, in contrast, the period of the system being unplugged just began. There has been no continued period of the system being inactive AND unplugged. This difference represents a regression in functionality for the 14.04 to 14.10 upgrade. ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- 14.10 incorrect behavior for suspend when inactive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
