I’ve added a second harddisk, formatted with encrypted Ext4, works fine.
However, when I go to Disks/DriveSettings and want to set StandbyTimeout to 10 minutes,
I get an error window:
Error creating temporary file: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark,1)
Whats this mean?
Thank you.
Can you just confirm what version of openSUSE you are using
My bad.
Opensuse V12.3-64
when I go to Disks/DriveSettings and want to set Standby
And where exactly is this setting?
I have to confess I never alter this that I know of. Except in Gnome where I do see an option in Power settings to allow or Not spin down

It could be this setting:
/etc/sysconfig/powermanagement:
# For saving power you should let your harddisk spin down after an idle
# time. That is not needed when on wall power. Set ADJUST_DISK_PERF to
# "yes" if apmd should check this. Note that this does not help much, if
# any process (like an text editor) writes frequently to your disk.
# Read the powermanagement section in the SuSE Linux manual!
# Default: "no"
APMD_ADJUST_DISK_PERF="yes"
APMD_BATTERY_DISK_TIMEOUT="120"
## Path: System/Powermanagement/apmd/Power supply changes
## Type: integer
## Default: 0
# Default: "0" (off, no spindown)
APMD_AC_DISK_TIMEOUT="180"
In that case, YaST would allow setting it. However, this machine has
been upgraded over the years from SuSE 5.3, so the file might be an
orphan, as i don’t have an apmd daemon running or installed.
But there might be a replacement for that functionality. I do remember
that years before this setting appeared, I had my own service script
running hdparm to set the timeout myself. If it doesn’t exist, I think I
should create it again with systemd.
