Bug ID: 424288
Summary: Unable to inhibit suspend in terminal
Product: Powerdevil
Version: 5.19.3
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: basjetim...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Since the latest update, inhibition of suspend does not seem to be working by
issuing dbus commands from the terminal. I have several scripts that look
pretty much like this:
```
COOKIE=$(qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit
/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit Inhibit string:"Inhibit" string:"User
requested")
#perform some long running task, like encoding a video file
qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit
/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit UnInhibit uint:$COOKIE
```
However, this is not working anymore and my computer suspends during the long
running task. I also have some compiled programs that use the same idea, only
by issuing the dbus command through qt's QtDBus-classes. I suspect qbittorrent
uses this same method as it also fails to inhibit suspend while downloads are
runing since last week.
I understand it has to do with
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/commit/d21102cc6c7a4db204a29f376ce5eb316ef57a6e
Is there currently any way to send inhibition from the terminal as I was used
to in my scripts?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Issue 'qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit
/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit Inhibit string:"Inhibit" string:"User
requested"', get no error, get a cookie returned.
OBSERVED RESULT
Computer goes to sleep anyway...
EXPECTED RESULT
Suspend is inhibited until I uninhibit it again.
