Yep, the suggestion above worked. My laptop would usually have suspended by now but it's still alive and well. I didn't need to reboot or anything.

They were not so clearly the gui just isn't communicating with the dconf. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854624 Title: [oneiric] Gnome3/Unity session fails to apply suspend/hibernate parameters, set by "Power Settings" dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/854624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
