Suspend turned off, but computer keeps suspending

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2217 / 2 Years ago, tue, january 25, 2022, 3:46:34

I'm running ubuntu 12.04 with a fairly fresh install (2 update sessions)

I turned off the suspend function in BIOS and System Settings but my computer keeps suspending about every 5 or 10 minutes of inactivity. I just switched the setting to 1 hour, hoping I'll at least get a little more time, but I would really like it to never suspend.

Thanks everybody in advance.

You not only have to set the suspend option in the "Power" tab of the system settings, but you also have to go to the "Brightnesss & Lock" tab in the system settings window and change that setting also.

I figured I would leave this up and answer (instead of deleting), just in case someone has a similar problem.
