I'm finding it super annoying. a. I've decided to ignore the laptop, laptop display goes off, notifications are irrelevant. b. It's distracting me from other work I'm doing, for no good reason. c. I have an external display connected. Someone sends me a chat message, the external display lights up for 30 seconds, and then powers off. They chat again, and it's this on off on off on off cycle that's making the power savings policy I've set entirely pointless. My laptop is not a cellphone. > It should be gnome-shell making the decisions of whether to wake the screen > up or not, not the caller (see the WakeUpScreen D-Bus signal in both > source trees for details). OK but there's nothing in the journal. If it's worth waking up my laptop and external display and putting up a red power notification as if there's a problem, this should be logged. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
