Ok, found a workaround (not clean at all, but that's the only thing I have now) : - edit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy - replace <allow_active>yes</allow_active> by <allow_active>no</allow_active> for both actions (suspend, hibernate)
I think you don't even have to reboot, the followindg test seems to indicate the modification is immediatly taken into account : $ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.upower.suspend -v org.freedesktop.upower.suspend: description: Suspend the system message: Authentication is required to suspend the system vendor: The UPower Project vendor_url: http://upower.freedesktop.org/ icon: system-suspend implicit any: no implicit inactive: no implicit active: no -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/860485 Title: bad default setting: suspend after 30min when plugged in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/860485/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
