I hope this isn't considered thread hijacking, but can anyone offer a DE-agnostic method of disabling/managing suspend? I have been experimenting with a wyse client, and while its much easier to boot from USB or LAN than hack the locked onboard storage, it doesn't handle suspend well.  Ill start a new thread if needed, but it seems in scope.
