This became a problem for me on upgrade to lucid - the machine started shuttdown when inactive for longer than the inactive period, rather than suspending.
Looking into the problem, it seems the GConf key “/apps/gnome-power- manager/actions/sleep_type_battery” is set to hibernate, rather than suspend (as it previously was). There is no way of setting this configuration option (or sleep_type_ac) from the GPM preferences in lucid, leading to confusing behaviour. It seems that 2.28.1-0ubuntu5 may be responsible for the problem: > gnome-power-manager (2.28.1-0ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low > > * debian/gconf-defaults: remove default preference on > /apps/gnome-power-manager/actions/sleep_type_battery (was set to > "nothing", however sleep_type_ac is "suspend".).
