Bluefin suspends with active SSH session when suspend is turned off

[fbunt]

Describe the bug

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but I figured I would start here to get the ball rolling. If there is a better place for this, please let me know. I am also opening this so that others can find it and see our workaround.

We have a computer we use for remote work that is running Bluefin. The system suspend feature is turned off in the settings menu on this computer but it continued to go into the suspend state while we had active SSH sessions with jobs running. We tried multiple reboots and an update after turning it off in the menu. This is the message we received each time:

❯ 
Broadcast message from gdm@fedora on tty1 (Fri 2024-09-06 16:31:49 MDT):

The system will suspend now!

We tried several things to prevent the system from suspending but what finally worked was the following commands followed by a reboot:

$ sudo -u gdm dbus-run-session gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing';
$ sudo -u gdm dbus-run-session gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0;
$ sudo -u gdm dbus-run-session gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'nothing'

We found these commands on this forum post: link

What did you expect to happen?

We expected the system to stop suspending after turning the feature off in the settings menu.

Extra information or context

We are running Wayland.

Turning on the caffeine extension in the top right menu might be a good workaround while we investigate.

Ah I hadn't seen that one. Thanks. I'll turn that on for our other machines.

You can also disable suspend in the power settings in gnome settings if you want the device to never go to sleep.
