I am still desperately trying to stop FreeBSD from sleeping, but I =
simply do not manage.=20

 =EF=BF=BD

It is really very annoying that I have to restart the machine every 10 =
minutes, when I am working via SSH.

So if any one has a solution, it would be very much appreciated!

 =EF=BF=BD

It should =E2=80=A6.. be possible to kill / stop ACPI some how =
=F0=9F=98=8A

If absolutely not possible in the actual build =F0=9F=98=8A, a cron job =
restarting the timer every 5 minutes perhaps !!???

 =EF=BF=BD

It is possible perhaps =E2=80=A6 that GNOME is initiating this, despite =
that the GUI powersetting is screenblank =E2=80=9CNEVER=E2=80=9D.  =
=EF=BF=BD

Whatever is causing the problem, the settings should be such that ^no =
whatever program^ should not be capable to initiate the sleepmode.=20

------------------------

I need to disable acpi and the indicated method for that is to add =
^hint.acpi.0.disabled=3D"1"^ in /boot/loader.conf .

However that crashes my system !!!!!!=20

Not only that, to make it work again I have to edit loader.conf on a =
system which does ^not start^.  =EF=BF=BD

 =EF=BF=BD

After a lot of searching Internet came to the help with, I could start =
the system again:

1. Select 3. Escape to loader prompt at the splash screen

2. Type set hint.acpi.0.disabled=3D"0" on the loader prompt

3. Then type boot on the loader prompt

edit the loader.conf

Very very glad with that fix however

 =EF=BF=BD

However the problem is still there, no idea how to prevent the system =
from going to sleep (after about 10 minutes).

No idea how to change those 10 minutes to a much longer time as well =
....=20

 =EF=BF=BD

Note that I have gnome as gui and use the system more or less as server =
and manage the machine partly local via the GUI and partly remote via =
SSH.

 =EF=BF=BD

Related to GNOME I did try ^gsettings set =
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0^, =
however that did not solve the problem as well.

 =EF=BF=BD

In the end there seems to two problems

a) A BSD-issue ACPI-turn off in the bootloader is crashing the system ! =
! and=20

b) a GNOME issue (switching the system off during user inactivity, which =
is bullshit for a server / for ssh-login / with multiple users).

What IMHO apart from the screen lock, this is not a GNOME task but an OS =
=EF=BF=BD function to be configured by the system administrator.

 =EF=BF=BD

A third problem, not to be addressed here, is that recovery from sleep =
mode does not work on my system as well (even not S1).

 =EF=BF=BD

Most important for the moment is that the system keeps running / is not =
going down after x-time !=20

 =EF=BF=BD
