General :: Inhibit Suspend Under Gnome?
May 25, 2011
I have enabled the gnome (2.30) screensaver and set it to suspend the machine after so many minutes. It works fine!Now, there are cases that I want to use the machine in "server mode". That is, there would not be physical activity on the machine while it serves files, or acts as a ssh terminal. As there is not physical activity, the machine would suspend after the time elapses. Is there a utility/script/something to inhibit suspend? ps. I had no luck with the dbus/python scripts do circulate in the Internet, nor is the "inhibit" applet anywhere available in my gnome distribution. I use ubuntu lucid.

I upgraded to Lucid last night and am now checking various things just to make sure they still work. I've found that Gnome-do won't run the "suspend" option. It does, however, still "restart" and "shutdown" OK. Anybody else having this problem?I also seem to be experiencing some of the "resume from sleep" issues which seem to be plaguing other threads. Laptop suspends fine when the lid is closed but when it's opened again it's just a black screen. Also the machine shuts down for a few seconds then starts again to a black screen.
Key presses do nothing, pushing the power button worked a couple of times but is not consistent so more often than not it needs a forced shutdown and reboot. Not an ideal situation.Suspend from the panel menu works OK and from what I can tell, if the lid is not closed then the power button will bring up the login window.

Is there a way to inhibit Transmission at times when a user is active and only have it downloading/seeding when the computer is idle (or is there another Torrent client that will do so)? I know about the limits that can be set, but those are clock based, not activity based limitations. As it is now, when it is running, my web browsing speed and other online activities take a big hit in responsiveness. I want to be responsible and seed completed downloads. However, the performance hit makes it difficult to tolerate, and manually pausing and resuming torrents every time I sit down at the computer or get up to leave is inconvenient.

It showed up once I upgraded to Lucid. The inhibit applet keeps disappearing from the panel. It doesn't matter where I place it, if it's locked in place, or what panel I've placed it on; it will be there, but then disappear once I reboot the computer and log back in to the desktop. It shows as an empty space where the icon used to be; right clicking the blank space gives me the standard context menu for the panel instead of the context menu for the inhibit applet. The only way I can get the icon to reappear is if I go to the panel properties and fidget around with the Expand and Hide Buttons options. Does anyone have this same problem?

I've been fiddling with gnome3 quite a bit, several different variants, and something I've yet to find a solution for is a way to "inhibit" the screensaver and/or sleep features if watching a movie or such.In gnome2 I'd always just add 'inhibit-applet' to the panel, but I've so far found no substitute in gnome3.

I decided to upgrade my Asus Eee 900 from Lenny to Squeeze, to fix some issues that I was having. I did a fresh install using the beta1 netinstall cd image, and now my system is mostly working as I'd like it. Overall it seems quite good, and it even boots much faster than it did with Lenny.
I've encountered a problem, though. The suspend key doesn't work. I installed the package 'hibernate', and now the system can suspend via a command (which seems to work properly, although I haven't tested it extensively). I've noticed that the squeeze system doesn't have a command that my other Lenny systems do, 's2ram'. And I've noticed also that a package, uswsusp, which seems to be related to this kind of thing, can't be installed because it's not in the repositories: Package uswsusp is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'uswsusp' has no installation candidate

I have Kaffeine version 1.1 and KDE 4.4.4 release 2 installed on OpenSUSE 11.3. During watching video in Kaffeine the powersave will start and after 30seconds will switch my computer off. When I watch video in Xine I do not have this problem (screen saver timeout is set to 10 seconds). I have not found this option in xine-config.

The mingetty --noclear parameter is failing with my current Fedora 13 installation. In the past this parameter would inhibit the clearing of the screen before prompting for the login name on the console. At present even with the parameter it clears the screen.
My /etc/inittab (which always worked past versions) contains:
Code:
Can someone tell me if I might be doing something wrong, or was this parameter dropped in the current version? Does anyone know of a workaround?
I understand the security purpose of the clear screen. But the particular computer is in a secured location. I prefer to look at the content of the previous screen for debugging and other chores.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and I am experiencing an ultra high memory usage of the gnome-settings-daemon of 2GB after suspend! Killing and restarting the daemon solves the issue. Anybody else with this behavior?

I have a FC11 over AMD Sempron 2400+ 512Mb RAM and Im using it as 24 hours server, but after a few hours of work it makes something like suspend (don't response to network, clock freeze, etc. but screen works) till I touch mouse or keyboard.
I think this is a configuration item, but I'd searching about pm-utils and I found how config suspend and hibernate states, but nothing about what thing order a suspend every few hours.
I'd installed gnome-power-manager, and after config it for "never suspend", only change is, maybe, a bit more time before automatic suspend.

If I suspend this toshiba satellite, and the battery is or gets low it will wake from suspend to tell me that it will need to suspend due to a critical low battery. Which is pretty dumb. I've experimented with this by plugging and unplugging the ac adapter.

2. is it possible to schedule the laptop to come out of suspend ?
3. i have a usb sound card (xfi go). when waking from suspend, the internal sound card is selected. i have to manually select the external sound card & for whatever reason, also unmute it too

I am a new user of Slackware 13.37 (KDE) on my laptop. Unfortunately, suspend to ram is not working properly. It worked the very first time I tried it, but has failed since. The computer suspend properly (light turns orange) but when I click any button it restarts computer and recovers journals.

Just got Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm liking it a lot, but my computer refuses to go into hibernate or suspend. I have a Dell M1530 but I don't really think it's a dell hardware issue because it's not just when I close the screen, it's also when I click suspend or hibernate from the menu.

Put 'nix box to sleep from command line?
I found that the solution was to do: pmi action hibernate
But when I typed in that, it showed: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files

I was trying to get this feature: wake up my htpc from s3 with my remote control and the solution is to modify /proc/acpi/wakeup and a descriptor in /sys. Here are the details: I'm using a Microsoft IR receiver for MCE remote that appears as dev 2 of bus 2 in lsusb
root@htpc:~# lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0471:0815 Philips (or NXP) eHome Infrared Receiver
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 045e:0714 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 045e:0715 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 045e:0707 Microsoft Corp. Wireless Laser Mouse 8000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:070c Microsoft Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub....
That's USB0 I have to enabled, why not usb 1 or 2 (bus 2 in lsusb)? Moreover why are all the disabled/enabled preceded with a star and S4 and not S3 mentioned? Nevertheless that wasn't enough to get it work. I looked in gconf-editor in apps/gnome-power-manager/general but I have no can-suspend or something similar... (I'm running on 10.10, with 10.04 I could suspend only once, afterwards the computer didn't go to suspend, just black screen then login screen). So I looked in /sys/ and found that 'cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/power/wakeup' (notice the 2.1 as bus 2 device 2 (0,1,...) gave 'disabled' so a echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/power/wakeup and now I can wake-up with the remote when I want.
What I don't understand:
Why USB0 in /proc/acpi/wakeup ?
Why have to change in /proc and /sys ?
Is it possible to automate this to get it work even if I change the usb port the receiver is plugged in ?

My suspend-to-disk and suspend-to-RAM stopped working months ago. I've grasped at straws about why ever since, but I really don't think it's a software problem, because I've reinstalled my system (MEPIS) repeatedly. What sort of hardware failures could cause this? What should I be looking for? I notice that at boot, Linux always says "no resume image found," even if I left the system in suspension or hibernation. I can post parts of the dmesg if someone tells me what to look for; I can't display the whole thing because it's too long to fit here.

In KDE's Konsole, I can do the following from the terminal:
dcop kwin KWinInterface currentDesktop
And it will tell me which desktop my terminal is connected to ( per [URL])
How can I determine what desktop number the current gnome terminal in a gnome session is connected to?

Currently running Slackware 13.37 64-bit on a notebook and finally have suspend/hibernate after realizing that USB devices, especially USB HDDs, need to be disconnected before suspend/hibernate can work. Problem is I have 2 USB HDDs that are connected to my notebook whenever the notebook is stationary for the extra storage so I'd like to create a script that would get invoked that would stop the suspend/hibernate process if certain partitions are mounted. I know what I would like to accomplish, but I have basic scripting knowledge so I was hoping to get some assistance.
1. script would basically store a user specified string containing devices that are non-USB, ie: NONUSB="/dev/sda /dev/sdb"
2. possibly use /etc/mtab to get a list of what is currently mounted and then remove lines containing whatever is specified in $NONUSB and store those values in $USB
3. run a for loop that executes 'umount' on each token in $USB
3a. stop suspend/hibernate process if 'umount' fails at any point
3b. if 'umount' passes then suspend/hibernate

I'm about at wit's end trying to figure out how to get Fedora 10 (can't go upgrade past that version, due to no more support for the integrated Radeon S300 graphics) on my HP Media Center desktop to resume after suspend- or to disable suspend, or anything that will prevent the computer from hanging after a period of inactivity. I have tried various combinations of noapm, noacpi, s4_nohwsig, etc., etc.; nothing helped. Actually, noacpi might have helped, I don't know, because disabling ACPI somehow disables internet as well, and I'm not willing to pay that price.I went into the CMOS RAM setup (both before and after updating the BIOS to the latest version), and the only Power options available were "After AC Power Failure," "WOL in S4," and "XD (Execute Disable)."Does anyone perchance know the magical solution to make the problem go away, aside from reverting to Windows?
P.S. The specs:
Dual-Boot XP / Fedora10 with GRUB bootloader
PentiumD 820(S) DC 2.8 GHz (800 MHz FSB, Socket 775)

When I close the lid on my Dell Latitude e6510 running Fedora 14/Gnome, the machine seems to suspend correctly. When I reopen the lid or otherwise try to awaken it, I get a text screen showing:
I am running with Linux installed on an external Passport drive, selected via F12 during startup.
