[18:16] <neyder> Hello, sobbing because of netplan on 18.04
[18:17] <neyder> Re configuring all machines one by one
[18:17] <blackflow> neyder: don't use it if you don't want to?
[18:19] <blackflow> netplan is configuration _abstraction_ that uses a backend like systemd-networkd on servers. You can totally use networkd directly, or revert to ifupdown, and ignore netplan if that's what you want.
[21:14] <aditya> hi how can I make my ubuntu-server to suspend automatically after being idle
[21:17] <blackflow> you'll have to define "idle" first
[21:18] <OerHeks> and your solution to wake up again.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WakeOnLan
[21:21] <aditya> blackflow: I have changed the logind.conf and IdleAction=suspend and IdleActionSec=10min but still the server does not seem to be going into suspend mode automatically
[21:21] <blackflow> aditya: you'll have to define "idle" first
[21:22] <blackflow> logind concept of "idle" is no user interaction
[21:22] <blackflow> not really a server role
[21:22] <aditya> blackflow: where do I define "Idle"
[21:23] <blackflow> in your use case. what exactly do you want to achieve, what's the set of circumstances that should put the server to sleep.
[21:23] <blackflow> is it "no key pressed for 10 minutes", or "no mouse moved for 10 minutes" or "no http request for 10 minutes" or what
[21:24] <aditya> well I have plex, deluge and file server running so when all are not getting used it means its idle
[21:24] <aditya> and since its a headless server there is no keyboard or mouse attached to the server
[21:25] <aditya> so basically it would be like no http request or any no ssh session active would mean its idle
[21:25] <OerHeks> those 2 settings work, only when there is NO opened user session.
[21:25] <blackflow> you'll have to script something manually that monitors and detects 10+ minutes passed since last http request or session and then triggers sleep mode.
[21:26] <blackflow> OerHeks: I thought it was the other way around, logind really being effective for (login) user sessions
[21:26] <blackflow> I mean, the sessions need to report "idle" and that's all about local user interactivity.
[21:27] <aditya> Ok so my settings in logind would only work if no user is logged in to the system
[21:29] <OerHeks> i think you need to tweak plex to hibernate
[21:29] <aditya> and then I have to write a bash script to check if there is no requests for plex or deluge and also check if there is no file server sessions
[21:30] <OerHeks> DNLA service enabled?
[22:35] <neyder> Aditya why in this world you would like to suspend a headless media server? Just wanna know
[22:36] <neyder> Oh Aditya is gone
[22:37] <neyder> That will replace the whale in my nightmares
[22:40] <neyder> blackflow yeah, I completely forgotten netplan implementation, so edited /etc/network/interfaces and all campus' PC went off network, I take all day to get remote control again, one by one
[22:41]  * neyder What a happy Saturday
