[Bug 312440] Re: gparted should inhibit automatic suspension

[Roberto Nanga Martinez]

It should also inhibit suspension in the case of closing the lid of a
laptop. At least it should detect if the setting on closing the screen
is set as suspend instead of do nothing, then give you a warning of not
closing the lid before starting the partitioning tasks. This way is
similar to detecting if the computer is connected to AC, though it
wouldn't help as much in case of an accidental closing of the screen the
same way completely inhibiting suspension does.

Title:
  gparted should inhibit automatic suspension

Status in Gnome Partition Editor:
  Confirmed
Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I started GParted to:
  delete sda6 partition, move sda7 where sda6 used to be, and create a new partition after sda7
  the told gparted to apply the changes, and went to launch.
  When came back to pc (on AC power), it was on sleep. Resumed it and gparted continued its jobs!
  It didn't give any error or warning or anything! Resumed its jobs like nothing happened.
  But I think that working on partitions cannot be considered as idle!
