QA team,
I have been testing Fedora 16 and ran into several issues that I'm
going to be reporting. But I wanted to start the discussion about
this:
By default now F16 is set to suspend the computer after 30 minutes
idle. I'm not happy with it because my home computer has some kind of
issue with suspend and after 30 minutes I just heard my HD drives
shutting down and a screen with the fedora logo in the middle
(plymouth) that keeps there forever.
I know I can change it from gnome-control-center but I would rather
prefer this to come disabled due that some people like me would
experience the same problem without realizing that it was because of
an issue with suspend.
This is not a QA issue. It's a GNOME decision. Bring it up on a GNOME
list or possibly on devel list (although it's already been discussed
there, to some extent).
I believe it was actually mentioned there that this is an error, and
systems connected to AC power are not supposed to auto-suspend. Check
for posts from Richard Hughes to the devel list thread.
