How to disable NetworkManager triggering sleep.target?

In my machine, NetworkManager tries to trigger sleep.target every 20min, if I have not login the GUI (I am using gnome).

journalctl -b 0 -x

gives me this information

...

I try to do this to avoid system going to sleep

systemctl mask sleep.target

and it works.

But the NetworkManager still tries to sleep every 20min, which makes my network goes down for about 4 second every 20min.

journalctl -b 0 -x

gives me this information

So I want to find a way to let NetworkManager not to try to sleep. My machine has no wifi dev, and it is using ethernet, but I still try to add

[connection]
wifi.powersave=2

to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and it does not work as what expected.

Please edit your post and use [ code ] tags (not quote tags) when posting output. This makes the output easier to read and provides a scroll box for long output.

Re: How to disable NetworkManager triggering sleep.target?

The lines are incomplete (copied from pager?) and -x just adds useless extra lines to the output.

Ontopic: it seems unlikely that NM triggers sleep. What you're seeing in the journal seems to be NM reacting to a notification (from systemd) that the system is about to sleep. It then brings down network connections/interfaces and runs dispatcher scripts.

GDM is more likely to be the culprit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#GD … ME_3.28.29

Sorry about my mistake, there is nothing in the last two minute before the networkmanager log about sleep in `journalctl -b 0`,
maybe because it is set `debug.Enable=false` in `/etc/gdm/custom.conf` currently.

And it is really gdm's fault, Thank you very much.

sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power

give the output

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 30
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power power-saver-profile-on-low-battery true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power ambient-enabled true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1200
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 1200
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power power-button-action 'suspend'

So I run:

sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type "'nothing'"

And it works.
