Public bug reported:
I have no idea when this started, but my Desktop goes offline (shuts
down) when left in the lock screen or when left on the log in screen
with no activity.
I used to have things set up to auto-reboot on power failure and no shut
down occurred. This was working as of last year roughly and I do not
have any event to associate the change in behaviour other than all the
updates that happened over that time.
On 20.04.
This is a pretty disastrous bug as you can imagine as a) nobody has any
information on this, looking at logs (last -x) I saw no shutdown
commands issued. b) configs are a mess documentation wise with words
like "sleep", "suspend" thrown around and nobody really knows what they
mean. Asking about "sleep" gets a lots of responses about "why are you
asking about /bin/sleep". It is a kind of state where you end up in an
asylum because nobody wants to debug this, it's probably a config change
done by some update, and it's not very interesting in terms of problems
to solve. Except it is absolutely disastrous since now my machine is
offline and I am away (I tried N rounds of debugging and testing before
I left) but was *unable* to block automatic shutdown AND not leave the
computer logged in and totally vulnerable.
Probably what should happen is that instead of some massive and
fruitless debugging project, a feature should be enabled that is a
"block ALL automatic shutdowns no matter what reason never ever allow
anything to shut me down that isn't a human typing at a keyboard.
Reboots are fine." You might call this server mode.
I have seen people saying to simply set /bin/shutdown to unexecutable
... I might try that when back but it sounds like it might have
potentially bad side effects.
