    [Settings] PC goes to sleep overnight, even with all power mangement that i know of off

    Operating System: Kubuntu 19.10
    KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5
    KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0
    Qt Version: 5.12.4
    Kernel Version: 5.3.0-42-generic
    OS Type: 64-bit
    Processors: 4 × AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics
    Memory: 14.6 GiB of RAM
    (GRUB) 2.04-1ubuntu12.2
    Harddrives
    4 - 500gb Seagate
    2 - 4tb WD
    Kubuntu install on 250gb partition, no other OS installed
    week old install, only programs added Plex, Chrome, Disks

    ================================================== ====================
    Power Management
    Revision Plasma 5.7 (2016-08-26)

    Energy Settings
    checked - Screen Energy Saving = Switch off after 10 mins
    unchecked - Suspend Session
    Activity Settings
    checked - Define a special behavior - never shut down the computer or let it go to sleep

    with those setting
    monitor will turn off
    Through out the day, up to 4 hours between uses, will be ok
    overnight PC will be suspended in the morning (6-8 hours), takes 3+ mins to wake up and be able to use programs.

    programs running Chrome, single tab with Plex server.

    ===
    with above settings and

    Battery and Brightness (on Task Manager)
    Unchecked - Enable Power Management
    Monitor no longer turns off
    still goes to sleep overnight, but takes about 2 mins to start back up

    i am not sure if plex is available in this sleep state or not. have not tried any terminal commands, as everything i have found so far were years old.
    thanks

    Any chance there's a BIOS setting causing this? My desktop settings are almost identical to yours (Activity settings are set at "Do not use...").

    I honestly don't know what you mean by "Task Manager". I wasn't aware we had one, so I can't comment on the Battery and Brightness settings.

      It's possible ACPI (your system hardware) is doing this. You might trying editing /etc/default/acpi-support and changing

      SUSPEND_METHODS="dbus-pm dbus-hal pm-utils"

      to

      SUSPEND_METHODS="none"


      and restarting acpi with;

      sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart

        sorry, guess the proper name would be system tray



        without any hardware changes other than harddrives, this pc ran Mint Cinn 19 for almost a year and Ubuntu 19 for a month without having this issue.
        will try fiddle with the acpi in a few,
        thanks

          That makes sense. I have Battery and Brightness disabled so that explains why it didn't occur to me immediately what you meant.

          If the same Ubuntu version didn't have the issue, it must be somewhere in KDE Plasma. I can't think of where else to look at the moment. We're only a few weeks from 20.04 release so maybe that will fix it...

            That sounds like restarting from power-off and reloading a session. Return from sleep should be a very few seconds, with no firmware screen or POST, and from hibernation a few seconds from the linux start-up.

            Some hardware can do wake-on-LAN, but I've no experience with that.
