@Sparhawk and if your sleep-inactive-(ac|battery)-type is suspend the actual suspend time will be
sleep-inactive-(ac|battery)-timeout + idle-dim-time but if your sleep-display-(ac|battery) > sleep- inactive-(ac|battery)-timeout the actual suspend time will be sleep-display-(ac|battery) + idle-dim-time hope these explains the default behavior in ubuntu now. btw, this should related to gnome-setttings-daemon not gnome-power- manager , and it's indeed has some design issue, there is a upstream fix already submitted. ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668703 ) but not yet in precise (and quantel), I'd assume this is going to be changed in 13.04. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #668703 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668703 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055874 Title: Automatic sleep settings are not followed precisely Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I set the various timeouts via dconf-editor, my computer does not follow them precisely. I'm referring to these settings: org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-display-ac org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-display-battery org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout For example if I set all to 5, then the display sleeps at 30 seconds, and the computer at 70 seconds. Similarly, if I set them all to 60, the computer suspends around 90 seconds. I've only tried these shorter settings. These are clearly values that are low for normal usage, but this bug is very frustrating if one attempts to troubleshoot unrelated automatic-sleep bugs. Firstly, I think I missed the case when automatic sleep might have worked. Secondly, it increases the time it takes to troubleshoot by a lot.
