[TriLUG] Thinkpad shutting off?

[Alan Porter]

If you're running gnome, it's probably "gnome-power-manager" trying to 
suspend (to RAM) or hibernate (to disk) after a certain period of 
inactivity.  The suspend/hibernate is not working.

For now, go to the power manager settings (on Ubuntu, it's "system / 
preferences / power management") and tell it not to suspend or hibernate 
after inactivity.  Just tell it to blank the screen... or maybe not even 
that... until you get a handle on what is failing.
