It appears that these problems are indeed not caused by a bug in gnome- power-manager. In my case, the lock only persists when using the Indicator-Applet-Session or Gnome-Do to initiate the suspend. Suspending with the Shut Down-applet or the dedicated sleep key on my notebook follows the gconf settings. The Indicator-Applet-Session completely bypasses the gnome-power-manager according to bug 501252 so it's logical the gconf setting has no effect. I suspect the same applies for Gnome- Do.
Workarounds that have worked for me are: - disable screen lock altogether in gconf-editor > desktop > gnome > lockdown - addressing to devicekit-power directly with the command: dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Suspend I've put this last line in a bash script that I can execute quickly with Gnome-Do, so I'm satisfied for the moment. -- Disabling the suspend and hibernate locks via gconf-editor doesn't do anything (from Intrepid to Karmic included) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255228 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
