Description of problem: Any attempt to suspend fails with: "Music Player has stopped the suspend from taking place: Playing" I suppose someone may want this behavior, but there has to be a way to disable this, right? There's nothing obvious in either the g-p-m or rhythmbox prefs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-0.11.4-1.fc9 gnome-power-manager-2.21.1-1.fc9
Peter had the same complaint, see: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423538 I've disabled the power-manager as being builtin, and disabled it by default in F-8 and rawhide.
Is back in: rhythmbox-0.11.4-5.fc9.x86_64
We disable it by default in patch rb-disable-power-plugin-by-default.patch Check whether /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/power-manager/active and /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/power-manager/hidden are both disabled.
$ gconftool-2 -R /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/power-manager active = true hidden = false I never explicitly enabled it, though.
Could you try: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/power-manager and see whether it disables it? It might be gconf being dumb, and seeing the default as being modified even though it's the same as the default, thus not applying the default value when it changes.
After recursive unset: $ gconftool-2 -R /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/power-manager active = false hidden = false No, that seems to do the right thing. *shrug* Will chalk it up to random noise for now.
