I have a Dell Inspiron 1420N running Hardy with the security and and recommended repositories enabled, with those packages installed (Up to 26 June 2008).
My computer is able to suspend and hibernate when I do it manually. When I use gnome-power-preferences, and set the time to put the computer to sleep when inactive, the computer does not sleep after that amount of time has elapsed. Some kind of event does seem to be generated, but the computer does not sleep. Attached is output from gnome-power-manager run as --verbose --no-daemon (the text of this bug report is included at the top) and left until the "inactive" timeout (after killing the normally running instance of gnome-power-manager.) Incidentally, "sleep" and "inactive" are both ambiguous. When is the computer "inactive?" Is "sleep" suspend or hibernate? But I should probably use a separate bug report for ambiguous wording. ** Attachment added: "afabian-gpm-bug.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15667060/afabian-gpm-bug.txt -- laptop will not sleep after idle time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188639 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
