Public bug reported: Previously (12.04 - 15.04), if I edited the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file to auto suspend the GDM login screen it worked. Now, if I edit the 2 lines to cause a suspend if the login screen (GDM) is up and no one logs in for 15 minutes, I get unintended random suspend from an active, logged in user.
The edit I make is to uncomment 2 lines: ... IdleAction=suspend IdleActionSec=15min ... This happens with 15.10 and 16.04 and is repeatable on my 3 machines. 1 is nvidia current, another nvidia legacy and another is i915. All were clean installs (not upgraded) Release: Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 Version: systemd: Installed: 229-4ubuntu5 Candidate: 229-4ubuntu5 Version table: *** 229-4ubuntu5 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 229-4ubuntu4 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages What I expect: If no user is logged in, the GDM screen should suspend. If a user is logged in, it should not suspend What happens: after a user logs in, the computer will suspend after 15 min. There is nothing odd in the dmesg log. It just appears as any suspend event. If a user is logged in, it should not suspend unless the user has a timeout and suspend set fort their login. ** Affects: systemd-shim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to systemd-shim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582048 Title: cannot timeout suspend GDM from logind Status in systemd-shim package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Previously (12.04 - 15.04), if I edited the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file to auto suspend the GDM login screen it worked.
