[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:

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.

zenharbinger,

Could also be going to sleep for power saving.
