You have been subscribed to a public bug: As already reported on https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-18.04-Auto- Suspend, automatic suspend is enabled on desktop installations on 18.04. This is a very, very bad thing, because many installations are used as a server. Even on a desktop usage this is a very problematic setting (long downloads or calculations, demonstrations etc.) So, do NOT enable this without asking the user!
To make things worse, it seems to be both a user specific and a system wide setting. But by far the biggest problem is that this shitty setting is even enabled during an upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 - without any warning! I know, Ubuntu 18.04 is still in beta, but this is major problem which will cause big headaches to many users which use their system as a server. Luckily I have an IPMI as I have no physical access to this test machine... It seems that this happens only to Unity/Gnome, not on mate desktops, but could be that this is caused by different desktop managers (gdm/lightdm). ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: dist-upgrade regression-release regression-update update -- Ubuntu 18.04: Please don't enable automatic suspend! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
