Auto suspend
My Linux system keeps restarting after it has been idle for a while and returns to the login screen. I tried to figure out why it restarts and tried to look everywhere for what is causing it.
I'm using Red Hat/Gnome. The problem is that I want the jobs activated on the logged-in user to continue running forever. (a) It is not a power failure as the computer is on a UPS and the UPS log shows that everything is okay. (b) I looked for TMOUT set somewhere (/etc/profile, SET command) and it does not seem to be set. (c) I looked in the /var/log/messages and I saw that the first message (when the system "disappeared" was "apm: busy: unable to enter requested state", after researching on that, I think that the system is suspending (?). Does Linux or Gnome automatically suspend when the system is idle? How do I stop that? Completely lost, Donny. |
Some bios have a problem with suspend, maybe disable acpi in kernel or disable suspend in bios
see if SysRq+d causes a reboot |
How do I disable ACPI?
SysRq+d doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks. |
It's in the kernel
you could try turning off apmd run this command /etc/rc.d/init.d/apmd stop to make it stay off when you reboot do this run this command setup then goto system services and then deselect apmd save and quit |
