Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu Ibex on a desktop with Compiz on 'normal' effects. There are some serious issues with power management and I am not sure if this is due to my setup or something inherent in Ubuntu. These issues may be summarized as under:
1. The system hangs if left on without activity for a period of time. I do not know how long it takes for this to happen but I usually find this happens when I return to my desk after about an hour. I have moved the sliders in the power management section to 'never' for both 'put computer to sleep' and 'put display to sleep' and this still happens. The symptoms are that the screen goes blank and various lights on the keyboard start flashing. The system cannot be revived by attempting to restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) or any other way. A full hard reboot is required. 2. Emerging from suspend results in some part of the system going bust. This either affects the sound or the networking. I guess this is just the same problem as other have reported on various laptop configurations but I thought I should report it occurring on a desktop as well.
