Greetings,
Under Power Management, the option to put the computer to sleep after a period of time has a maximum of 1 hour. I would like to increase this to 2 hours. Is there a way to do this?
Mike

Haven't done this myself but you might want to look at this:

You should be able to do this by hitting Alt-F2 and typing gconf-editor. Then navigate to /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout. From there, you can set sleep_computer_ac and sleep_computer_battery to an arbitrary number of seconds. Though, I don't have two hours to test to see if a value of 7200 will actually work.
