This issue is also under discussion in Fedora https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desk...@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/N26LIZE66L5PBHDXFEV3K3XO2JV736DN/
Some highlights: 6. It's claimed that Firefox doesn't inhibit suspend when downloading a file. 7. GNOME Disks doesn't inhibit suspend when performing actions https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794485 8. ssh should probably inhibit suspend when a user is logged in. (It's claimed that upstream wasn't interested years ago.) 9. Does apt and unattended-upgrades inhibit suspend? (These are subpoints of #2 above) Believed to work already ======================= Rhythmbox Nautilus copying files Totem VLC Suggestions =========== A. We may want to turn off auto-suspend completely in the live session. (A failure to resume from suspend during the install could be really bad. And this might be easier than trying to have ubiquity or gparted set the correct inhibitors.) B. A compromise would be to only auto-suspend on battery power. Arguably, auto-suspend on battery power should have been the default years ago! ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #794485 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794485 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759008 Title: Revert automatic suspend by default for bionic? Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: GNOME 3.28 has turned Automatic Suspend on by default and set it to 20 minutes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/2fdb48fa I generally think this is a good thing. There are a few issues though. 1. The computer will still suspend even if there are remote users logged in or the computer is being used as a server for files, printers, etc. 2. Some software doesn't set inhibit correctly. ~ahasenack mentioned he was using the Spotify Snap and the computer suspend after 20 minutes. (Maybe Spotify needs to use the screen-inhibit-control snap interface.) 3. Even if it does set inhibit, there is a report that the computer will suspend as soon as the inhibit is removed if there is no other activity. (Imagine a movie playing. At the end of the movie, the computer goes to sleep immediately.) More details and proposed fix at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705942#c21 4. There is no GUI way to change this setting for the login screen yet. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/22 5. Some users think that desktop computers should be always running unless told otherwise. Personally, I don't give this argument much weight at all.
