Package: gnome-session Version: 43.0-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: witold.bary...@gmail.com
Rather annoying issue. In my opinion it might even deserve "grave" severity. It appears in Power settings, Automatic Suspend is On by default (with 20 minutes delay). Here is the problem. I am on a desktop PC, always on, and have programs in a background that must run non stop or for many hours (i.e. data acquisition / monitoring, long running scripts, simulations, etc). I often use Live-CD (custom built Debian iso using live-build), so I relay on defaults a lot. But suspend to RAM is often broken on computers I use, and it often never recovers, needing me to power cycle the computer, or even disconnect power, waiting and connect power again. (long pressing power button does not help). And even if it works, often a state of USB devices is lost, which I have few (including the root file system). So last time I used my system, after almost 10 hours of work, I went for a break and some food, while some processes were running in a background. Then came back about 30 minutes later, system was not responding (monitors off, USB devices off, keyboard not doing anything), and power button was blinking. Pressing it did not help, and needed to remove power (at power supply), and connect back. Many hours of work lost. I do not normally use Gnome Shell (I normally use MATE), but I accidently logged into Gnome Shell, and wanted to give it a try. First time this occured, I was really surprised, and I was thinking maybe it was a kernel bug (I often use rc kernels). But it happened again on another kernel version. As I use Live-CD quite often, just changing a value is not an option manually, as these settings will be lost after reboot. Not to mention they are not intuitive for a novice user of Gnome Shell. I do not understand why Automatic Suspend would be On by default. Especially if the default power mode profile is Balanced (not Power Saver). A way better idea would be to detect a computer form factor, and power source. If it is battery (i.e. not AC and not charging), then maybe do enable a suspend. Otherwise no. I also do not understand why Screen Blank in Power Saving Options is "Never". A default should be few minutes.
