I assume you’re not booting into graphical login in a web server, but just
to the multi-user target. Headless servers aren’t affected by this.
First. Thanks to all those that replied. Seems that the fix for me
was to connect a monitor to machine (headless server just meaning
a regular Fedora 38 machine without a monitor connect) Then
login in using gnome option (usually have it default to XFCE, but
power option with XFCE doesn't show anything on this option).
Then going to power settings and turn off the option. Then it
doesn't seem to be shutting down the machine at all.
Still haven't seen a reply if switching to lightdm from gdm would
also resolve issue? So currently the machine is using gdm, but was
set to use XFCE for both local login and VNC login. So the VNC
user was logged in, but it would still suspend the machine?
This is the automatic suspend for workstations, which is a power saving
mode and not a terribly bad idea, because it’s assumed that most
workstations, when idle and no local user, don’t need to continue to
consume power.
Agree that in many cases it would be a power saving feature, but if
the machine has any services that either make connections from
outside http/https/smtp/pop3/vnc/mariadb then shutting machine
down would be issue. Also, any cron or auto run process like
dnf-cache would be effect.
Don't know if they thought of any of those issues.
I have BOINC running on machines to do work, and a suspend
stops them dead.. This particular machine has 8 core cpu, so it has
8 task running when nothing else is using machine.
