Prevent laptop from suspending when a user is logged in through SSH
I just installed a plain debian 12.1 on my good old Thinkpad X200, my
first debian 12 install since I'm waiting for things to settle down
before I upgrade my other computers.
Going smooth so far and my first snag (after bug #1037304) is that it
just kicked me out of all my ssh sessions. Example from an active git
command that was aborted:
remote: Enumerating objects: 6944, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (6944/6944), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 73% (2131/2919)
Broadcast message from pipe@airwaves (Tue 2023-08-01 21:04:47 CEST):
The system will suspend now!
Timeout, server airwaves.computerwelt not responding.
At the time the laptop was on AC power and I was logged in as the
primary user in the default gnome session, but the laptop was sitting
idle except for my SSH sessions - all mostly active with aptitude, git
commands, text editing etc.
Does anyone know the "correct" solution to this? There's no difference
in activity for me hacking away in a terminal over SSH compared to a
terminal in a window on the laptop itself, so why isn't it registered
as "activity" for the automatic suspension?
