[Fixed] Fedora 39 keeps rebooting when left idle for a long time

Edit: Fixed by this comment: lemm.ee/comment/8626267 Thanks!


Hi all, please help me figure out this weird issue I’ve been having. Any time I leave my laptop idle for a long time, when I come back to it, it’s back to the log in screen as in the laptop rebooted.

I am not sure which logs I should be looking for to figure out the source of the problem.

Here’s my system info:

zenharbinger,

Could also be going to sleep for power saving.

allywilson,

Without sounding rude, are you sure it’s at the login screen and not the unlock screen?

brunofin,

not rude. yeah it’s a login screen as when I input my password all apps that I was using are closed, blank new session.

allywilson,

OK, thanks.

I guess it’s worth confirming if it’s been a logout or a reboot as well. If you open a terminal and type “uptime” does the time match when you booted up or after you left it alone for a while?

Check the output of: dmesg -Tand have a look through: /var/log/messages

I would be focussing on errors, warnings and/or terms like “reboot, shutdown, logout, timeout, idle, etc.” to try to narrow it down what is happening and when.
