We're disabling automatic suspend by default when plugged in, but we're keeping it enabled when on battery power. We aren't doing anything different in GDM or in the installer's live mode.

Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-settings source package in Bionic: Fix Released 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.
