Idle period needs to be reset when computer is unplugged

[Zisu Andrei]

I wasn't sure this should be filed against power plug, but feel free to change it.

If the computer has been on AC power but has been idle for more then the idle period defined in the power plug as "Sleep when inactive for" under the "On battery" tab, when it is unplugged it goes to sleep straight away.

So: computer initially on AC power, and has been idle for say 5 minutes. If it gets unplugged and the "Sleep when inactive for" for "On battery" is, for example, 1 minute, the computer goes to sleep straight away.

I believe unpluggin should be a "display of activity" and the counter should reset.

Dan suggested it might be an issue with Gnome Power Manager. It needs tracking down and fixing in upstream.

this is an opinion or gnome settings deamon issue, but only keyboard and mouse(also touch screen) is seen as user input. pulling out the power cord doesn't give the computer real user input.

if every I/O port should trigger as user input on any activity it will never sleep. because i/o activity as in usb driver polling presence of drives or sata driver for hard drives which handles kernel request are not always user input.

I therefore mark this as opinion.
