    Debian Text Mode Power Management

    I recently converted a Toshiba Satellite A75 notebook with a broken screen into a minecraft server that me and my friends will be using at UAB.

    It's currently running the latest version of Debian in text-mode with a few shell scripts that backup files and update a webpage at specified times.

    The server runs fantastic ( though it's currently on my home network so no one can join it unless they are on LAN ) but there is a minor problem. I took a look at the backups from last night and it seems the server shut down around 10:00 in the morning because the laptop went into sleep/hibernate mode or something like that. I'm not sure what's causing this exactly but I think it's some setting in gnome-power-manager, but I can't run it in text mode.

    What do?

    It's probably not gnome-power-manager if you're running console only.

    It might be if you have laptop-mode-tools installed, something there.

    Or maybe pm-utils.

    Or this could help.

    I checked my config and I have laptop mode off. Also, I installed console-tools and set the power down time and screen off time to infinite. Hopefully this will fix it.

    Thanks.
