bug#36519: System frequently suspending after logout

[Josh Wheeler]

Problem: GuixSD frequently suspends on user logout or after selecting
"Log in as another user" from the lock screen.

Occurs when returning to GDM from GNOME and i3 sessions on a fresh
GuixSD install.

Expected: System should allow user logout / switching without sleeping.

Thanks!

I have observed this unwanted behavior as well.  It was briefly
discussed here, but no resolution was reached:

"Computer suspends even when I tell it not to"
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-06/msg00134.html

Could this issue actually be the same issue that is described in the
following email thread?

"Who is sending my Guix System to sleep?"
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-09/msg00172.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-10/msg00213.html

In the second email, Jack Hill describes a potential work-around.  I
wonder if it might also work for the issue described in this bug report?

It seems like a slightly different issue. At least, I don't remember 
running into this. However, it seems reasonable to use the 
sleep-inactive-ac-type dconf setting as I describe to see if it helps with 
this behavior as well. Suspend-on-logout may also be controlled by a 
different dconf setting.

I'm not sure how helpful that was, but I did want to reply.

Best,
Jack
