Description Harald Sitter 2018-11-22 11:52:19 UTC 
Live updates have a potential to break stuff, this is somewhat more problematic if systems are allowed to suspend while doing an update. If the update included nvidia the screenlocker will be defunct because of nvidia things, possibly certainl qml/qt changes can also cause this (though I feel like we've put safe guards in place a while back)

The long term answer to this is that nvidia should be an offline update, but since offline updates aren't quite production-ready we could benefit from a solution in the meantime.

It may be smart to inhibit sleep during update *installation*.

Concerns raised: what if the user closes the lid and puts the laptop in a bag?

Yes please!
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2020-02-20 23:00:24 UTC 
There's also no point inhibiting during the download phase, only the transaction. I'm not sure if we have access to that.

My gut reaction is this is the job of the underlying package system and any patches should be submitted there.

Please implement this. I’ve had instances where a computer would not wake from suspend (black screen) if suspended during an update. Force shutting it down resulted in system damage even after waiting 30 mins in hopes that the update would complete. You are lucky if you get the [Screen locker is broken] message as opposed to this!

Zypper on openSUSE indeed does this: it blocks the computer from going to suspend during updates.

It indeed happened to me several times that the system refuses to go on suspend without me noticing because of an update. I'm often not putting the computer in my bag at those times. When I put the computer in my bag, I'm extra careful that it did go to suspend.

I have two imperfect ideas:
 - produce some sort of signal when the system refuses to suspend (for whatever reason). But the screen is not visible and the sound might be muted (or undesirable)
 - make sure to put the laptop on suspend after the updates are done. That would be a neat solution for my case: closing the lead would mean: go to sleep as soon as possible, after finishing whatever task that needs to be finished before.

Geez yes. I stopped using Discover for updates, because suspend halts the download in midstream (almost every time given how slow my connection is), sometimes halts installation, and then I have to use the CLI to make it finish anyway. Please, give us an option to NOT SUSPEND AT ALL until the whole update process is finished.

[To be fair, I have the same issue with Synaptic. Is there any way to intercept "software installation" and make it NOT SUSPEND regardless of which software manager is in use?]
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2022-08-22 15:20:37 UTC 
When we're inhibiting suspend, it only inhibits *automatic* suspend; you can still suspend manually by clicking "Sleep" in Kickoff etc. or closing your laptop's lid. So if we implement this, it wont hurt anything if you for example absent-mindedly start an update and then close your laptop lid to take it somewhere.
