I need to disable acpi and the indicated method for that is to add ^hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"^ in /boot/loader.conf .
However that crashes my system !!!!!! Not only that, to make it work again I have to edit loader.conf on a system which does ^not start^. � After a lot of searching Internet came to the help with, I could start the system again: 1. Select 3. Escape to loader prompt at the splash screen 2. Type set hint.acpi.0.disabled="0" on the loader prompt 3. Then type boot on the loader prompt edit the loader.conf Very very glad with that fix however � However the problem is still there, no idea how to prevent the system from going to sleep (after about 10 minutes). No idea how to change those 10 minutes to a much longer time as well .... � Note that I have gnome as gui and use the system more or less as server and manage the machine partly local via the GUI and partly remote via SSH. � Related to GNOME I did try ^gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0^, however that did not solve the problem as well. � In the end there seems to two problems a) A BSD-issue ACPI-turn off in the bootloader is crashing the system ! ! and b) a GNOME issue (switching the system off during user inactivity, which is bullshit for a server / for ssh-login / with multiple users). What IMHO apart from the screen lock, this is not a GNOME task but an OS function to be configured by the system administrator. � A third problem, not to be addressed here, is that recovery from sleep mode does not work on my system as well (even not S1). � Most important for the moment is that the system keeps running / is not going down after x-time ! � Louis
