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 =EF=BF=BD =EF=BF=BD Louis ------------------------ 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 Louis ------=_NextPart_000_001A_01D8F54B.7F702D40 Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" = xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><meta = http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dutf-8"><meta = name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Word 15 (filtered = medium)"><style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"; panose-1:2 11 5 2 4 2 4 2 2 3;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-size:10.0pt;} @page WordSection1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:70.85pt 70.85pt 70.85pt 70.85pt;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext=3D"edit" spidmax=3D"1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext=3D"edit"> <o:idmap v:ext=3D"edit" data=3D"1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang=3DNL = link=3D"#0563C1" vlink=3D"#954F72" style=3D'word-wrap:break-word'><div = class=3DWordSection1><p class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US>I am still = desperately trying to stop FreeBSD from sleeping, but I simply do not = manage. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US>It is really very annoying that I have to restart the = machine every 10 minutes, when I am working via = SSH.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US>So if = any one has a solution, it would be very much = appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US>It should =E2=80=A6.. be possible to kill / stop ACPI some = how </span><span lang=3DEN-US style=3D'font-family:"Segoe UI = Emoji",sans-serif'>😊</span><span = lang=3DEN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US>If absolutely not possible in the actual build </span><span = lang=3DEN-US style=3D'font-family:"Segoe UI = Emoji",sans-serif'>😊</span><span lang=3DEN-US>, a cron job = restarting the timer every 5 minutes perhaps = !!???<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US>Whatever is causing the problem, = the settings should be such that ^no whatever program^ should not be = capable to initiate the sleepmode. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US>Louis<o:p></o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US>------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US>I need to disable acpi and the = indicated method for that is to add = ^hint.acpi.0.disabled=3D"1"^ in /boot/loader.conf = .<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US>However = that crashes my system !!!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US>Not only that, to make it work = again I have to edit loader.conf on a system which does ^not start^. = <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US>After a lot of searching Internet came to the help with, I = could start the system again:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span lang=3DEN-US>1.
