[Bug 1895217] Re: gnome control center mouse settings don't work in other window manager

2020-09-10 Thread Gerald Gilbert-Thorple
Hi Daniel, yes I was going to resort to that if necessary. Thanks! One comment though, I found that the setting was not even saved before I switched to Fvwm. I had to redo the mouse speed each time I logged into an Ubuntu session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

2020-09-10 Thread Gerald Gilbert-Thorple

That's right, I masked them by hand following some advice on the internet for how to make systemd stop suspending, since it was not responding to settings in login.conf even after restating logind service. Regardless of my motivation, it seems buggy that changing these settings should lead to

sorry, you can withdraw this bug as I discovered it is a kernel bug, not systemd. (I wanted to withdraw it earlier but did not know how to get back to this report.) thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Public bug reported: in 20.04.01 LTS (release 20.04), suspend on lid closure works for a while, then one day stops working, with no error message in syslog. The event is not even registered. The problem seems to start when the system has been inactive for long enough so that the screen is
