Followup-For: Bug #896083
Hello,
Same bug has this one from Fedora :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1558485
I think severity should be critical because while suspended the machine can't be used anymore
(by ssh for example). I don't force it.
On Debian systems the problem is here :
$ sudo -u Debian-gdm dbus-run-session gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type
'suspend'
/usr/share/doc/gdm3/README.Debian says us :
The greeter - which is the interface that welcomes you on the
computer - uses a minimal GNOME session to startup. Its settings are set
through GSettings, but using a specific configuration.
* You can force the GSettings settings in /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults.
* After changing any of the settings, you need to run “invoke-rc.d gdm3
reload” to take them into account.
But after adding :
# - Do not autosuspend
[org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power]
sleep-inactive-ac-type='blank'
to /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults, "invoke-rc.d gdm3 reload" has no effects.
Even reboot has no effects.
The solution is in Debian's wiki :
https://wiki.debian.org/GDM#Customizing_the_GDM_appearance
- Edit /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults as root
- Uncomment and/or modify the desired settings
- Save and close the editor
Finally, run as root: dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
The command 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm3' will cause gdm to reload its configuration upon the next logout or reboot
Those informations should be added in greeter.dconf-defaults and README.Debian, for example :
Add to /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults :
# - Do not autosuspend
# [org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power]
# sleep-inactive-ac-type='blank'
