[SOLVED] disable suspend

Hello,

Arch is running on a laptop, I have not installed any power management software.

After 10 mins Arch suspends itself, I tried to change this in system settings (Suspend when ianctive for -> Don't suspend) and also

 xset -dpms

and I checked the flag is "no" here:

/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>

but nothing worked, it still suspends after 10 mins. SMplayer prevents this but DeadBeef for example not.

Can someone help?

Perhaps you have such settings in your BIOS setup? Check your BIOS.

Actually there is a "block sleep" option in power management, but enabling it did not solve the problem.

Okay I am not sure if one or all lines did the trick but

1. block sleep in bios enabled
2. xset s 0 0
3. xset -dpms 

solved the problem.

Re: [SOLVED] disable suspend

It works but everytime the system restarts dpms is on again, so I had put these commands in Openbox autostart file. Is there a more elegant way how to disable dpms system-wise pemanently?
