GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 761247
Have options to suspend after 5 and 10 minutes of inactivity as well
Last modified: 2018-01-24 15:14:08 UTC
In the unity-control-center one is able to set it so that their computer suspends after 5 minutes of inactivity as well as 10 minutes, however the gnome-control-center only allows times equal to or above 15 minutes which is rather annoying because if you want to set it to something below 15 minutes like 5 minutes, you have to go into the dconf-editor and change it yourself. So I think that the gnome-control-center should also allow you to set it to 10 minutes and 5 minutes. I initially filed a report on this issue here, but was told to also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1527633
You can change this through gnome-tweak-tool or gconf-editor. The current values are made so that the minimum value for the automatic suspend is higher than all the values for turning off the display, on purpose.
No, I looked in the gnome-tweak-tool already many times, you have to do it through dconf-editor or manually through Terminal. So it would be nice if at least the feature existed in the gnome-tweak-tool so that it is easier for most users to configure.
Reopening and reassigning to gnome-tweak-tool then.
