Hey everyone.
Basically I need to do what the title says. I did have xfce4-power-manager installed and had it set there (had the setting disabled so that it wouldn’t suspend after inactive), but xfce4-notifyd was creating problems with dunst which I installed and setup last night, so I removed xfce4-power-manager and xfce4-logind.
However now after a few minutes of not doing anything my PC sleeps. There must be a setting somewhere I can edit which is the same thing xfce4 uses to implement this, no? Either a file or another power manager software which will not cause problems with my dunst.
Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions!
Caffeine works good for me on i3
From what Ive read caffeine seems to be for temporarily disabling suspend functionality in a specific context. e.g. when running a certain task. It doesn’t disable the automatic suspend functionality in general, which is what I want. I have a “sleep” key on my keyboard which I use when I need to, but all other times I need my PC to be awake.
It stops the auto sleep function for me when enabled, it has the option to be “on” and “on when x app is running”
You could even tell it to never let your system sleep when your wm is running
Ah ok cool. Ill try it out if disabling xfce4-notifyd doesn’t work out. Thanks
