GNU/Linux – Paolo Redaelli https://monodes.com/predaelli A civil engineer with a longlife fondness for Software Libero Fri, 09 May 2025 06:52:20 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 91795679 Open Source & Linux – AnduinOS https://monodes.com/predaelli/2025/05/09/open-source-linux-anduinos/ https://monodes.com/predaelli/2025/05/09/open-source-linux-anduinos/#respond Fri, 09 May 2025 06:52:18 +0000 https://monodes.com/predaelli/?p=13297

AnduinOS is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that aims to facilitate developers transitioning from Windows to Linux by maintaining familiar operational habits and workflows.

Now it turns out that the sole maintainer of Linux distribution AnduinOS turns out to be a Microsoft employee. And it sounds a little strange to me, as Anduinos is advertized as GPL-v3 licensed… as far as I remember Microsoft hates GPL, especially GPL-v3!

You will love Wayfire!

Wayfire is a wayland compositor based on wlroots. It aims to create a customizable, extendable and lightweight environment without sacrificing its appearance.

Prevent sleep/suspend when not logged in https://monodes.com/predaelli/2024/01/08/prevent-sleep-suspend-when-not-logged-in/ https://monodes.com/predaelli/2024/01/08/prevent-sleep-suspend-when-not-logged-in/#respond Sun, 07 Jan 2024 23:04:38 +0000 https://monodes.com/predaelli/?p=11123 Recently I’ve been logged into a laptop remotely a lot. Logging out from “main” session makes my Gnome on Debian 12 go to suspend after a while. To avoid it you just have to tell:

sudo  dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing'

Thanks to WinEunuuchs2Unix for the answer I took from Prevent sleep/suspend when not logged in to a specific account; the only change is that GDM on Debian runs as root.

See also https://wiki.debian.org/Suspend#Disable_suspend_and_hibernation:

For systems which should never attempt any type of suspension, these targets can be disabled at the systemd level with the following:

sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

To re-enable hibernate and suspend use the following command:

sudo systemctl unmask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

A modern alternative approach for disabling suspend and hibernation is to create /etc/systemd/sleep.conf.d/nosuspend.conf as

[Sleep]
AllowSuspend=no
AllowHibernation=no
AllowSuspendThenHibernate=no
AllowHybridSleep=no

The above technique works on Debian 10 Buster and newer. See systemd-sleep.conf(5) for details.

If you just want to prevent suspending when the lid is closed you can set the following options in /etc/systemd/logind.conf:

[Login]
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

Then run systemctl restart systemd-logind.service or reboot.
