Last modified: 2008-07-16 22:17:18 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have two tabs in the preferences: "Running on AC" and "General". I set "Put computer to sleep when is inactive for:" to "Never", but my computer still automatically suspends after 1-2 hours. Like a proof for this, here is a line from /var/log/messages from today: Jun 10 20:17:02 jingle gnome-power-manager: (mm) Rechner wird in Bereitschaft versetzt da Systemleerlauf It is in German, but it says: Computer will be suspended because of inactivity Steps to reproduce: 1. set "Put computer to sleep when is inactive for:" to "Never" 2. leave a computer without doing anything for 1-2 hours Actual results: computer goes to suspend mode (suspend to ram) Expected results: not to go to suspend mode Does this happen every time? yes, always. Other information: I am using Slackware 11.0 with Dropline 2.18.1
