I discovered a fairly simple workaround for this problem. If you edit a file called
~/.gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/%gconf.xml and change the value for the entry with name "power" to "nothing", this seems to keep this countdown dialog from ever appearing. (I suspect that if you edit the power preferences later that it will undo this edit.) <entry name="power" mtime="1229948465" type="string"> <stringvalue>nothing</stringvalue> </entry> -- The "shut down the computer" dialog should not act on a timer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308823 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
