As the dbus-monitor sees nothing, I infer the VLC D-Bus inhibit plug-in is correctly not enabled, and cannot be blamed for this. That would in principle leave the xscreensaver plug-in and the built-in X11 DPMS extension code as potential culprits.
But then VLC is not even running. I would like to point out that the xscreensaver and the DPMS code only disable the screensaver for a fixed timeout. After VLC quits and the timeout expires, they cannot be inhibiting PM. Which shows it's apparently not a VLC bug. I would also add that VLC could always crash, so the power management system has to be robust against applications that don't clean up properly. -- VLC Inhibits power management daemon when option UNCHECKED https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562807 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
