Title:
Revert automatic suspend by default for bionic?
Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-settings source package in Bionic:
Confirmed
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.

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.
