Upgraded my firewall machine F37->F38 today, with no apparent errors or issues... EXCEPT that I found it on power suspend twice in the first hour after finishing the upgrade. Checked power settings and found "Automatic Suspend" ON and set to 15 minutes' idle time.

Do you have gnome installed on the firewall? I think gnome defaults to suspend after 15mins. Or did you see this setting with a CLI tools? I am going to be upgrading my fedora firewall this weekend and will look out for this. Barry

This was an in-place dnf upgrade. The existing setting in Gnome shouldn't have been changed, right?

The default did change which affects the gdm user. Unless you're logged into a Gnome session on this firewall, it would pick up the new default. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/gnome-suspends-after-15-minutes-of... -- Todd

And, for those like me using F38 for a firewall or who otherwise need their systems to not suspend EVER, down a ways in this document: # systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

If I'm just using it as a firewall, I'd also do: systemctl set-default multi-user.target To run without an active GUI system.

And if you're not going to be using a GUI, why install one in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier to do a server install that doesn't have one?

On systems I use like that, I kind of like the GUI installed so I can run GUI tools via ssh X forwarding or even run the full GUI in a VNC session if I need to do something complicated and want a familiar environment to work in, but 99% of the time I don't need it.

There’s no reason why you need to have GDM running (graphical.target) if you’re only going to interact with it remotely over SSH. I agree with the other post, change the default target to multi-user.target. To run a VNC session you probably don’t want the full GNOME experience anyway. I tend to use more lightweight Window Managers if I have to use one in VNC. -- Jonathan Billings
