I just upgraded from Lucid to Precise and now my desktop suspends when idle, it never did before. power applet looks right, switching to suspend and back doens't affect it.
My screen saver is also completely gone, but that's another issue. I'll try the other suggestions here and update, but I wanted to put this note in the the bug still exists at least for upgrades. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864479 Title: System goes to hibernate or suspend even when set to "Don't suspend" Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: System goes to hibernate or suspend even when set to "Don't suspend" on the Suspend when inactive setting I use the affected Laptop additionally as a fileserver.
