Disable suspend when not logged in

Setting to disable lock screen sleep/suspend?

Problem: when not logged in (reboot or logoff)
Bluefin sleeps or suspends when that is disabled when logged in.

Real problem: I RDP or ssh into this computer, if I don’t catch it in that minute it’s awake. I have to get physical with it to wake it. Really need it to run 24x7.

As I’m Commonly a KDE user, I could be missing a setting or wording. In KDE I’d turn off the lock screen suspend settings as well as power suspend settings.

Thanks,
Ryan

This is something I’ve been meaning to look into myself.
When no one is logged in, the gdm user’s settings are used, so this should do the trick:

sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 0

Then you can verify the settings:

❯ sudo -u gdm gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power ambient-enabled true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 30
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power power-button-action 'interactive'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power power-saver-profile-on-low-battery true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 0
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'suspend‘

@JohnAtl Thank you!
Zeroing out the timeout did the trick.

That jogged my memory; I’d forgotten the switch back to display manager when logged out. I do recall the similar settings in kde were set in lightdm.
