Best means of determining cause of GNOME sporadically going into standby

Question

This has been eating at me for a bit now. I have a small netbook computer running Ubuntu 10.04. It loves to sporadically go into standby, turning off the screen, spinning down the disk, pausing for about 10 seconds, and then after hitting the keyboard, waking up again to a password prompt. As soon as I put the password in, everything resumes as normal from where it left off, which is why I am convinced it is going into standby.

I cannot seem to determine the cause of the Standby based on the symptoms however. Coretemp and other temp utilities do not report high temps (usually under 30C), the GNOME power-preferences panel is not set to go into standby at all, and as far as I know, my memory is doing just fine and not being overly utilized.

I am stumped. What is the best way to start diagnosing this problem in the logs and or settings. I have never had this problem with other Ubuntu 10.04 installations, and I run a lab full of them, so I am thinking it is somehow laptop related.

My modules loaded at boot (/etc/modules):

lp
battery
ac
thermal
processor
acpi-cpufreq
cpufreq-userspace
coretemp

Cheers!

EDIT: Here is a kern.log extract from the time it enters standby to the time it wakes up.

Answer 1

What I would do in this case is make sure that I can SSH into the netbook from another computer. With the netbook close by and visible, on the secondary computer run the top command and closely monitor the output so that when the netbook goes into standby you will see what command/app is executed. From there you can further troubleshoot the issue.
