Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
I have Ubuntu 9.04 running on a Dell Inspiron 9400 Laptop. I was resizing a partition on a external USB harddisk using "GParted". As this operations takes a long time I left the computer unattended overnight.
In the morning I found that the Laptop was in sleep mode. I assumed "Gparted" might have finished successfully but after laptop wakeup I found that "GParted" was still trying to resize the partition.
Of course, now this operation is inconsistent and I lost data on the harddisk.
BTW, Laptop was running on AC power.
I had enabled "Put computer to sleep when inactive for : 45 mins" but in this case "Gparted" was still running.
