How to set GDM suspend to 'nothing'

I want GDM to stay up if it is up and at the login screen. I tried the suggestion here for 3.28
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM
But it does not seem to work with 3.32, anyway:

root@desktop:~# sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing'
root@desktop:~# gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
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 ambient-enabled true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'suspend'
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 power-button-action 'suspend'

How do I change the setting?

Re: How to set GDM suspend to 'nothing'

Well, you are setting the setting for the gdm user, but then query the setting with root, why do you expect anything to have changed for your root account? (also in general, don't run desktop file adjustment utilities like that as root)
