This Fedora 29 computer"goes to sleep" with no keyboard input for a rather short time and I don't know how to "wake it?" I really don't know what mode is causing it, suspect something like suspend/hibernate which i don't need or want.
When that happens I only know to press the computer on/off button for a second and restart it immediately. Very annoying ...
Are thee commands I can use to wake it up, if that is what is happening. If so is it a configuration setting?
This an updated F29, I believe I have the screensaver and lock disabled, even so, I can recover from them from the keyboard ...

What every your GUI is (mine is Xfce), under settings there should be 'Power Manager'. In there are the various sleep settings.
ALWAYS set these in a new/upgrade install.

Oh, your sig says you also use Xfce.
It is right there on the Systems tab in Power Manager.
Mine is set so on AC it never suspends. Battery it is set for 20 min to suspend on no activity.

. Yes xfce always, before that, perhaps 20 years ago, Window Maker.
I did as you suggested, set to "never." Now to see what happens with time. This is a fixed computer, the only battery is in a UPS. It normally runs Fedora-30, upgraded several months ago from Fedora-29. I'm running F29 because the F30 has reverted to "emergency" mode.
Thanks for the help, Bob
