I've no objection of it being an option, just to have it be the default, 
especially without warning.

Because we're the poor buggas who debug their ideas...  But I agree.  

If you're creating commercial installations that have to adhere to some
illusory green-washing principle you really shouldn't be using stock
installations but a custom one.

The average home user switches their PC off when it's not in use, and
expects it to stay switched on when they want it.  The non-average PC
user that leaves their PC on for extended hours, or 24/7 has done so on
purpose because that's what they want it to do.

And quite frankly, I can imagine chaos in the IT department of a
business that has to deal with multiple employee PCs going dormant at
inopportune moments.  Computers going tits-up because the worker was on
a phone call that took longer than the impatience period, had to do
something away from the desk, lunch breaks, whatever...

Those of us who've been around here long enough remember that a great
number of computers fail spectacularly at suspending, hibernating, and
resuming.  Sometimes its the hardware, it's never going to manage it. 
Sometimes it's the software, they've gone about it in an ill-conceived
manner, or expected all hardware to work in some particular way.

As a general rule, manufacturers only test against Windows
compatibility.  And if they find a problem, and if they decide to
bother with a solution, it'll be a Windows patch, rather than fixing up
their hardware.

There is a big difference between individual home, small and medium buisness
users, and enterprise environments.

At my "enterprise" workplace, each building had an energy budget based on
watts
per workstation.  Electrical panels and HVAC were sized to that level.
Users were
issued a laptop with docking station and monitor.  Just before COVID send
users
home, there was a plan to increase density using call center cubicles.

In my field, there is a "mission critical" command-line app that was
developed
on SGI IRIX64 and ported to macOS and linux.  The vast majority of users
have
little or no interest or experience with linux, so if they aren't macOS
users, they
just install some linux distro (I tell them to seek out other linux users
at their site
for advice on choice of distro so they can get help with site-specific
configuration)
using the default configuration.  This user community benefits when the
number
of different linux configurations is kept small.  Since the majority of
users are
stuck with Windows in their workplace. it is helpful if the linux desktop
is not too
different from Windows.

Some people need it, some don't, but everyone gets it and quite a few
don't know they have it until it trips them up. It ignores the old rule
known as the Principle of Least Astonishment.

In my case my computer becomes completely unresponsive. Neither pressing
reset, or holding down the power button have any effect forcing me to use
the power supply switch. Not a very good end user experience.

It should have been an option that the owner could *easily* control.

People are having to ask about unsetting it, because the only obvious
control for changing it will only affect the computer while you're
logged into it (power management settings for *you*).  As soon as you
log out, the login screen's settings take over.

Come to that, GDM really needs re-thinking.  It's so damn hard to
change how the login screen works that it's not funny.

Question? If that is so, why couldn't they modify their Linux 
pre-installed setup to have it set, rather than forcing everyone else 
to have to have it as default? 

Since I did a dnf upgrade it didn't present any option saying it was 
going to do this, or prompting for the option. Don't know if a clean 
install would have presented any option..

Wonder how many people are going to be reporting machines as

This wasn't just some developer's idea... IIRC the request for this
change came from someone who sells systems with Linux pre-installed
(Lenovo?), because this is a requirement for meeting power
certifications needed for desktop/notebook systems.

What I understand this shows the standard value of this parameters.

This works for me. I also do:

sudo -u gdm dbus-run-session gsettings set

Perhaps Fedora before 38 has defaults to no and commented lines 
are to turn on, but my Fedora 38 was suspending with lines 
commented, so default must be yes??

First. Thanks to all those that replied. Seems that the fix for me 
was to connect a monitor to machine (headless server just meaning 
a regular Fedora 38 machine without a monitor connect) Then 
login in using gnome option (usually have it default to XFCE, but 
power option with XFCE doesn't show anything on this option). 
Then going to power settings and turn off the option. Then it 
doesn't seem to be shutting down the machine at all. 

Still haven't seen a reply if switching to lightdm from gdm would 
also resolve issue? So currently the machine is using gdm, but was 
set to use XFCE for both local login and VNC login. So the VNC 
user was logged in, but it would still suspend the machine?

Agree that in many cases it would be a power saving feature, but if 
the machine has any services that either make connections from 
outside http/https/smtp/pop3/vnc/mariadb then shutting machine 
down would be issue. Also, any cron or auto run process like 
dnf-cache would be effect. 

Don't know if they thought of any of those issues.
I have BOINC running on machines to do work, and a suspend 
stops them dead.. This particular machine has 8 core cpu, so it has 
8 task running when nothing else is using machine.

Every time I read about this kind of thing I thank the stars I don't
use Gnome, not because it can't be turned off, but because someone
decided it should be on by default.

Quite an assumption, that's completely wrong for a large number of
people.  And considering the number of PCs that don't get hibernation

That's because you're now logged in locally and adjusted the
local users setting.  but unless you plan to do that every
time you boot the system, this will still be an issue
because it's the gdm users settings which will still have
the 15 minute timeout.

You should either change the boot target as Sam suggested
or, if you really want it to boot to a graphical login
screen for some reason, you should follow the steps in the
"Adjusting the login screen" section of the post I shared.
The commands there adjust the inactive sleep setting for the
gdm user.

> As others said, think this is a Bug.

It's very much an intentional change which applies to the
Workstation edition.  It has surprised many people who are
running that edition as if its a headless server, no doubt.
But it's easy enough to change the setting or adjust the
system's target run level.

I presume it's fairly trivial to turn off.  My desktop is running both 
Folding and Einstein At Home and I expect it to be working 24/7.

I assume you’re not booting into graphical login in a web server, but just to 
the multi-user target. Headless servers aren’t affected by this.

This is the automatic suspend for workstations, which is a power saving mode 
and not a terribly bad idea, because it’s assumed that most workstations, when 
idle and no local user, don’t need to continue to consume power.

I have Fedora Workstation on a system that is mainly used as a
headless server.  I created /etc/systemd/sleep.conf.d/.conf
by editing /etc/systemd/sleep.conf to uncomment the "#Allow ..." lines.

This has been working since F38 was first available.

I don't have any problem with my servers, but they all boot to text mode.

Think that was the page I had found, but issuing the command 
from terminal with the XFCE login didn't seem to make the 
change.
Going to power setting from XFCE menu didn't show the power 
option, so couldn't change it from the gui.

But putting a monitor on machine, and having it boot locally with 
the gnome option did have the setting in the power options, so set 
it off there, and it seems to be staying on so far.

Luckly the fan has leds so it was very obvious when it went off.
Has been on for 8hours 22 minutes, so guess it is working.
Don't know if the VNC would work if I have it boot to text mode 
only? 

Thanks again for quick replies. Think they should have the default 
to not power off, and allow users to set it to 15 minutes or 
whatever if they want. 

As others said, think this is a Bug. The upgrade from 37 to 38 went 
fine except for this, but if I had updated my web server with 
mariadb it would have been a problem.

And if for some reason that's not an option (though I think
it is the best answer for a headless machine), there are
other ways to resolve the effects of this change mentioned
in the Common Issues for F38:

Is it booting to gdm?  If you're only using remote access, you should 
change it to boot to text console mode instead of graphical.  That 
should resolve the problem.

Upgraded machine to Fedora 38 and now suspending after 15 minues??

2023-08-19 Thread Michael D. Setzer II via users
Have 4 machines that are headless machines.
Boot up, and have VNC run to allow access using XFCE sessions.

After upgrading the one to Fedora 38, have the machine going off 
after 15 minutes since no user is logged in locally to machine??

Found a page that mentions these options.

sudo -u gdm dbus-run-session gsettings list-recursively 
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power | grep sleep

sudo -u gdm dbus-run-session gsettings set 
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power 
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0

But after doing it on machine with VNC session, it still was 
shutting off since vnc is running XFCE?

Hooked up monitor, and logged in using gnome, and went in power 
options and it seemed to show and auto suspend option and turned 
it off. See if that keeps it up, but there was a not on site that if all 
users logged out, machines would go back to 15 minute suspend??

Hasn't been 15 minutes? So not sure if logging in with gnome and 
turning off the suspend will keep it up.

This was my backup machine that doesn't have anything other than 
BOINC running on it, but others have web, mariadb and other 
things running so shutting down after 15 minutes is a NO GO...

Is there a best way to correct this?
Installing lightdm maybe and disabling the gdm completely.

Thanks. This is a major issue for my setup.
