There should be a (or at least there was, if it's not there anymore, I haven't used Beta 3 yet) Power Management module in YaST. I'm sure it probably has control over the g-p-m app too, so it applies to all users (but I could be wrong).
No, there isn't anymore. Power Management is controlled on the desktop by the user. And I think that's actually what 99% of all usual home users want.
Yes, as long as we (users) make the decision to hibernate automatically or not. It is different when you set the default to hibernate without asking us.
As you said, it's just a decision which have to be made, others would maybe say, wow, what a good default, it helps to save the environment.
For instance: my home machine serves a samba share to my external digital TV box, so that it can do time shifting and recording. With your default of hibernating, you can make it loose data!
That's advanced, you are root, you know what you do, you can change the default. And yes, it will be in the release notes.
And even on homes, a machine can have several users, and I have no click
If one user session isn't active, aka another user is logged in, the inactive session won't trigger a autosuspend.
and shoot method of changing that default. That's all I ask: either change the default, or provide a click and shoot method (or CLI script at least) to change that default system wide.
That would be an easy script calling 'sed', I'll provide one on the upcoming wiki page. Regards, Holger -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
