Well, Magnus already has said that he would change the default.
Oh, I hope I didn't say that :-) I will try to get it changed as, in my opinion, it shouldn't suspend by default.
Here's the bug report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439018
Ah! I see the difference :-)
I can add my opinion to the bug, if you like. I certainly dislike that thing being forced into us, and I very much want to disable it system-wide.
Just imagine the damage for server-type machines! Novell will be inundated with reports. Even for SLES/SLED: suppose an office where you need to retrieve a file from a shared folder of a co-worker while he is away.
A server machine that runs openSUSE is something different than a server running SLES. I hope we agree on that.
This forced compliance thing is absurd, IMO.
for some, perhaps. For others not. the reason, as said on other place is Energy Star compliance. If openSUSE 11.1 will have this activated by default needs to be decided by coolo and his product manager. It could - and may be should - different than an Enterprise product.
For SLED, it would make sense as, in most cases, the Desktop would be setup by system administrators. For openSUSE, people with limited knowledge will likely think that something is wrong, either with the install or with their machine. I really think we could gain a bad reputation by having this by default. I guess one way to solve it would be to ask the user if it's ok to suspend when machine has been inactive for 30 minutes. On a multi-user system, if one user answers Yes and another answers No, then PolicyKit (ConsoleKit?) should not allow it to suspend if the user who answered No is logged in.
