when unplugging the sleep after x minutes on battery is activated inappropriately

[Nev Delap]

In the Power Manager I have "Battery Powered: When the system is idle for more than 15 minutes: Sleep" setting set. And when it's mains powered do nothing.

So when the computer has been idle on battery for more than fifteen minutes I come along and unplug it to take it away to use in the living room for example, and so it now thinks it's on battery power and has been idle for more than fifteen minutes, so it goes to sleep.

So the problem being simply that if I'm unplugging it I'm there and probably going to use it so it's inappropriate to sleep. So I'm thinking the timer for the idle time on battery needs to start when the computer starts being on battery, and not before, so that it doesn't have this odd behavior.

So it's just a small issue.

Cheers.

Pedro, what is the "information we need to investigate the problem"? -- that we need to test with the Intrepid Ibex live-CD and tell you what happens? Or were you referring to something else?

Hey there. I'm the one who reported it. But I am traveling without my laptop
so I can't do any testing for you.

Pedro, I can give you the missing information -- I also suffer from this issue, and I have my laptop to test with. Just tell me what information you want. The original description seemed lucid to me...

Hi. I'm afraid sometime back I switched to kubuntu. So I can't reproduce the
problem for you. Sorry.
