[Bug 78038] Re: rhythmbox interferes with suspend
Banshee is also affected by this bug, but it's not a plugin - Banshee just always does this when music is playing. I second Mike's description of the problem, above. I think we need a distinction between active power management: power button, lid close, menu option; and passive power management: a timeout expired. Active power management should not be affected by dbus calls that override suspend unless you change a system setting which defaults to 'off'. Passive power management overriding should have a system setting as well, and it might make sense to default that to 'on'. -- rhythmbox interferes with suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78038 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 193617] Re: Hardy rhythmbox stops screen from blanking on laptop lid close
Actually here's a better question: will this patch allow *suspend* (not just screen blanking) when the laptop lid closes? I saw in another bug that several apps are getting dbus calls added for various reasons to prevent suspend. This is a *really* bad idea.. it damages laptops! If the user has left headphones plugged in or muted the sound, it will prevent the laptop from suspending when the lid closes, which means overheating in the laptop and damaged components and shorter hardware lifespan. Laptop lid close should trump all, for hardware safety if for no other reason. -- Hardy rhythmbox stops screen from blanking on laptop lid close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 193617] Re: Hardy rhythmbox stops screen from blanking on laptop lid close
I agree with you in principal actually, but I think the problem has been poorly-defined. We need a separate definition: call it active power management and passive power management. In active PM, the user has taken an action to cause it to happen, i.e. press the power button, pick the shutdown menu item, or closed the lid. In passive PM, the system is doing something power management related because a timeout has expired. In my opinion apps should never be able to prevent the first kind without some kind of system-level setting changed. Perhaps label it allow applications to override lid closing/power button. Default to no. Then your plugins can work. The second, passive kind is the kind I think these features are *intended* to block, and maybe they ought to be able to. As long as we're adding settings, make this one a setting too, but default to yes. -- Hardy rhythmbox stops screen from blanking on laptop lid close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This affects Banshee, too. Is there a similar workaround for banshee? I didn't see any power-related plugins or settings. -- Hardy rhythmbox stops screen from blanking on laptop lid close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 39328] Re: Offer option to disable scroll wheel on task list
Add another bump to this. It is far too easy to accidentally scroll the desktop switcher. I'm not even sure how scrolling is useful in the desktop switcher. You would have to be extremely precise with the mouse to get the desktop you meant to get in this fashion. Scrolling in the desktop switcher seems entirely useless to me. -- Offer option to disable scroll wheel on task list https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
