http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1088612 Bug ID: 1088612 Summary: GDM auto suspends machine after 20 minutes when nobody logs in Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: tchvatal@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The gnome 2.28 has feature with poversaving that autosuspends machine after certain amount of time to match up EU regulations. This works fine but it is also enabled for GDM where it can be used as login screen on servers. When your server suddenly suspends it is bit shocker, as such I would recommend us to disable this behaviour for GDM and keep it only for logged user sessions. Workaround (not sure which of the two settings are used, i think the first): su - gdm -s /bin/bash export $(dbus-launch) GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing' GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
