Title:
  greeter session puts the host to sleep after 30 minutes idle

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since version 3.x, on a fresh install, GDM uses the gnome-power-
  manager defaults as-is for its greeter session. This has the
  unfortunate consequence of putting the host to sleep after 30 minutes,
  which is not desirable in a situation when the same host is meant to
  provide network services.

  This wouldn't be such a problem if there was an easy way for the user
  to change this, but this is not the case since GNOME 3 and its big
  migration to dconf. There isn't any dedicated tool to adjust GDM
  defaults available yet and 'gksu -u gdm gnome-control-center' won't
  work either because it tries to access display :0.
