Avoid hibernation

[mortain]

Hello,
I am using a computer for which I do not have the adminstrator priviliges. The IT officer is in vacation and I need to run some simulations. Unfortunately, the system goes on hibernation by default after 30 minutes. I would like to avoid it. Is there a manner to force Open Suse not to go on hibernation while I wait for him to come back and change the power settings?

I guess even a small script that opens and closes a window each 20 minutes should work...

Thank you
Antonio

Antonio,

you could try opening a console and simply run a "ping some.machine.onyour.network", maybe that helps.

I have no idea if that will solve it, but you can try to write a small
script which every ten seconds or so moves the mouse by zero pixels in an
endless loop.

#/bin/bash
while :
do
xvkbd -no-keypad -text "\x+0" 2>/dev/null
sleep 10
done

so consider that just as a funny idea.

It is possible that this is just the default desktop settings, and that is
under your control. In gnome, start "gnome-power-preferences", and you will
see there is an action to put it to sleep if inactive for so many minutes.
In kde there must be another similar setting.,
