It merely hides it. If an admin decides that users should not be allowed to set a one second spindown time to extend the hard disk's life the user would still be annoyed by the popup.

It doesn't fix the issue. It merely hides it. If an admin decides that users should not be allowed to set a one second spindown time to extend the hard disk's life the user would still be annoyed by the popup. Reassigning to gnome to find a solution that works in mode 'restrictive' as well.

An admin that cares for this enough can as well set a mandatory dconf file. So in essence, this admin would define the spin down he wants hard set... This is possible as described at https://wiki.gnome.org/dconf/SystemAdministrators As such, I'd argue all the things required for an admin to take care of it is in place. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
