[Bug 1326759] Re: System sleeps at GDM prompt even when told not to

 

I have tried installing a number of older kernels in order to attempt to
find the last known good or first known bad kernel, following the
examples on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection in the
"Bisecting Ubuntu kernel versions" section. Not one of the kernels I
have installed has booted correctly.

I have guessed that the bogus kernel was built between the last good
saucy 13.10 kernel I used and the first trusty 14.04 kernel I installed.

First I installed trusty 3.12.0-8.16. It would not boot. I got a full
crash.

Then I installed saucy 3.11.0-26.45. It would not boot because MDADM
could not find my RAIDs.

So then I tried trusty 3.13.0-4.19. It would not boot, again because MDADM:
Incrementally starting RAID arrays...
mdadm: CREATE group disk not found
Incrementally started RAID arrays.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I have been installing all three images as per the wiki page, for example:
linux-headers-3.13.0-4_3.13.0-4.19_all.deb
linux-image-3.13.0-4-generic_3.13.0-4.19_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.13.0-4-generic_3.13.0-4.19_amd64.deb

Title:
  System sleeps at GDM prompt even when told not to

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 14.04, my Dell Dimension E521 sleeps at the GDM
  login window after a short amount of time. But I have used the System
  Settings -> Power Management -> Energy Saving panel to tell it never
  to Suspend Session.  I have Screen Energy Saving set to 10 minutes.  I
  have tried many different settings based on recommendations found on
  the web, but no matter what, the system sleeps at the GDM login window
  after a short amount of time.

  I'm using Kubuntu, running KDE, not that horrible Ubuntu interface for
  tablet users.

  This sleep behavior causes two problems:

  1) The system goes to sleep and never wakes up, but that is the
  subject of a different bug.

  2) If the system reboots for any reason, it then promptly goes to
  sleep, which means that it is essentially down, and then I cannot
  access it remotely. And I access it remotely quite often. I rely on my
  system being up and accessible, and this bug prevents me from using
  the system after it reboots.  For example, if the power goes out at my
  house (which it does).  I have the BIOS set to reboot after power
  loss, but then the system goes to sleep.

  So, how do I tell my system NOT to go to sleep while waiting for login
  at the GDM window?  Why do the Power Management settings appear to do
  nothing at the GDM window?  How do I configure the GDM window sleep
  behavior?
