RFC Debian Buster Release notes documentation : Power-saving regulations
Hi,
Sorry for my bad english, and sorry I'm not sysadmin.
I migrated from Debian 9 to 10 applying excellent documentation :
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.fr.html
All worked well.
The machine is a sftp server. And to be user-friendly Gnome graphic
environement runs on this server.
And my server entered in deep suspend power save mode few minutes later...
According to this bug report :
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=893964#22
"It's 20 minutes, and is a result of the defaults in
gnome-settings-daemon 3.28 changing to comply with European and American
power-saving
regulations."
So If we migrate a debian server with gnome to Buster. The login screen
will suspend the server 20 minutes later the migration.
What a joke !
The solution consists in editing /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults to
come back to 'blank' screen.
After the sysadmin can enforce refering to :
https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/systemd/systemd-sleep.conf.5.en.html
https://wiki.debian.org/Suspend
I suggest the release notes documentation should point this small but
very critical change.
Best regards,
Rémi Rouaud
