Re: KDE Plasma - how to prevent sleep

I’m more than a little bit concerned with respect to the Post “how to prevent sleep” <https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/535519-how-to-prevent-sleep>.

The originator was asking about disabling system sleep from the KDE Plasma Desktop.

  • Finding the appropriate KDE Documentation via openSUSE isn’t, IMHO, self evident – the openSUSE Documentation concentrates on GNOME …
  • For those folks who use the (openSUSE default) KDE Plasma Desktop:

The KDE Documentation is here: <https://docs.kde.org/>.

OK, also not so intuitive but, the route to the “System Settings” Documentation can be found here: <https://docs.kde.org/index.php?language=en&package=kde-workspace> – click on “kde-workspace” in the main KDE Documentation page.
The “System Settings” Documentation is here: <https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kde-workspace/systemsettings/index.html>.

The “Power Management” Documentation is here: <https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kde-workspace/kcontrol/powerdevil/index.html> – “Suspend session” is the Energy Saving option the Post’s originator was possibly looking for …

[HR][/HR]OK, now we begin to get into a “very confusing for a lot of people” area:

  • Suspend
    ” versus “Sleep” – IMHO, AFAICS, documentation related to “Power Saving”, in general, uses these words interchangeably and, confusingly – even though, they both mean the same thing: “The system is placed into a mode which saves energy and, recovers to an operational state quickly.” …
