Dear Arch users,
I have latest Arch installed on my desktop at work. In recent two weeks, the system randomly "suspends" at night (I call it "randomly" because it didn't happen every night. And it seems to happen after a random period idle time) when I am off. I can't wake it up in the next morning thru mouse or keyboard.
I tried to disable suspension and hibernation by editing /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy to change from <allow_active>yes</allow_active> to <allow_active>no</allow_active>
But it doesn't work.
While I call it "suspend", I am not sure it suspend to RAM or hibernate to disk, because I find the CPU fan and power fan still spin normally. RAM light is also on. So it might be a video driver / setting related issue. For your information, I am using nvidia-302.17-2-x86_64 and have dual monitor set up with nvidia-utils-302.17-1-x86_64
This really bothers me a lot. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Completely off-topic, but am I the only one that chuckled at this title? A very minor mistake, but "irresponsible" means "not responsible", and brings to mind pictures of your computer spending all your money, running an anonymous proxy without asking you, or maybe sending prank e-mails to your friends. Maybe you're dealing with a teenage computer? :p You meant to say "unresponsive", but we all understood what you meant to say. Paul
