It appears that the login screen runs as root. In any case, KDE is not running until someone logs in. You can observe the KDE startup process after logging-in. So, although I mentioned that the machine uses KDE, I doubt that is relevant. I'm just trying to get a laptop, plugged into mains power, never to go into a suspended state, whether or not someone is logged into its console. As the machine is on the network, it is possible for a remote user to cause a reboot. After that, even if the KDE power manager was running for a console user before the boot, it isn't running after the boot, so KDE's power management can't help at that time. Perhaps I'm asking the wrong question or implying an answer that isn't helpful. Rather than my initial question, perhaps I should have asked, Is there a way to prevent an unattended laptop from going into suspend even when no one is logged into the console? -- Dave Close -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
