Bug ID: 472159
Summary: Partition Manager does not disable suspension (sleep)
mode while executing a task, which can cause data loss
Classification: Applications
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 23.04.3
Platform: Neon
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Hello, I started KDE Neon via USB to perform NTFS partition resizing via
PartitionManager. The resizing process would take over 1 hour so I left to do
something else and when I came back I realized the computer was off.
The problem was that by default, KDE Neon was set to go into suspension (sleep)
mode after 15 minutes of no interaction.
PartitionManager should be able to temporarily disable any setting that causes
the computer to go into suspension, hibernation, or low power mode while some
task is being performed.
I guess entering suspension (sleep) mode while performing a task on a partition
can cause data loss in some cases
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDE Neon Live USB
2. Start the PartitionManager and start performing a very long-time task
3. Do not interact with the system for at least 15 minutes and after that the
OS will go into suspension mode
OBSERVED RESULT
Even with Partition Manager performing the long task of moving a partition, the
OS may still go into suspension mode.
EXPECTED RESULT
While Partition Manager is executing any task, the OS should NEVER go into
suspension, hibernation or low power mode
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
