Description Ben Morgan 2014-04-19 14:04:42 UTC

Using new Arch Linux install with following packages:
   linux 3.14.1-1
   systemd 212-3

I am using xlogin:
   https://github.com/joukewitteveen/xlogin
With the following guide:
   https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1357400

I am actively working on the system, and yet:

Apr 19 15:51:40 atlas systemd-logind[334]: System idle. Taking action.
Apr 19 15:51:40 atlas systemd-logind[334]: Suspending...
Apr 19 15:51:40 atlas systemd[1]: Starting Sleep.
Apr 19 15:51:40 atlas systemd[1]: Reached target Sleep.
Apr 19 15:51:40 atlas systemd[1]: Starting Suspend...
Apr 19 15:51:40 atlas systemd-sleep[25421]: Suspending system...

This is a recurring problem. I have my idle time set to 60min and my idle action to suspend in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.

Thank you for your time!

Your DE needs to inform logind about when it is idle or not, logind cannot figure that out on its own. GNOME and KDE do this correclty. Please file a bug against your DE of choce.
