<title>Automatic logout</title>
- <p>GNOME can optionally force an automatic logout of users after being
- idle for a certain amount of time. This feature is exposed through
- GSettings.</p>
- <p>GSettings is an <app>API</app> that allows you to access key/value pairs
- (e.g.: persistent application settings) without directly talking to the actual
- <sys>backend</sys> that stores that data (config files, gconf, dconf).</p>
-
- <p>To configure an end of user sessions after X seconds of idle,
- key/value pairs need to be changed. Here are four examples explaining
- how to set your battery or alternating current (AC) values.</p>
+ <p>To configure an end of a user session after a specified number of seconds
+ of idle, the following keys need to be changed:</p>
+<screen>
+org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-inactive-ac-timeout
+org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-inactive-ac-type
+org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-inactive-battery-timeout
+org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-inactive-battery-type
+</screen>
+ <p>As you can see from the list, the keys differ according to the power mode:
+ whether the computer is on battery (-battery-) or on ac power (-ac-).</p>
-<steps>
-<title>Sleep timeout when the computer is on battery:</title>
- <item><p>Open the terminal.</p></item>
- <item><p>Run the <code>gsettings set
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-battery-timeout=<var>number-of-seconds</var></code>
- command.</p></item>
-</steps>
-
- <p><var>number-of-seconds</var> is the amount of time in seconds the computer
- on battery power needs to be inactive before it goes to sleep.
- A value of 0 means <em>never</em>.</p>
+ <p>Firstly, you can set what kind of automatic logout should
+ be used (<var>'hibernate'</var>, <var>'suspend'</var> or <var>'do nothing'</var>)
+ and, secondly, the number of seconds the user has been inactive to log them
+ out. See the examples below.</p>
<steps>
- <title>The type of sleeping that should be performed when the computer is
- inactive:</title>
+ <title>To suspend the computer after 5 minutes of idle:</title>
<item><p>Open the terminal.</p></item>
- <item><p>Run the <code>gsettings set
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-battery-type=<var>interactive</var></code>
- command.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Run the
+ <cmd>gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 300</cmd>
+ command to set the number of seconds (5 minutes equals 300 seconds).</p></item>
</steps>
- <p>This command sets whether to <var>hibernate</var>, <var>suspend</var> or do nothing when the
- computer is inactive and on battery. The default settings is <var>suspend</var>.</p>
+<note>
+ <p>You do not need to specify the type of logout as <var>'suspend'</var> is
+ set by default.</p>
+</note>
-<steps>
- <title>Sleep timeout when the computer is on AC:</title>
- <item><p>Open the terminal.</p></item>
- <item><p>Run the
<code>org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-ac-timeout=<var>number-of-seconds</var></code>
- command.</p></item>
-</steps>
-
- <p>Again, <var>number-of-seconds</var> is the amount of time in seconds the
- computer on AC power needs to be inactive before it goes to sleep.
- A value of 0 means <em>never</em>.</p>
+ <p>Whereas the first example concerned a computer on alternating current,
+ the second example deals with a computer on battery.</p>
<steps>
- <title>The type of sleeping that should be performed when the computer is
- inactive:</title>
+ <title>To hibernate the computer after 10 minutes of idle:</title>
<item><p>Open the terminal.</p></item>
- <item><p>Run the <code>org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-ac-type=<var>interactive</var></code>
- command.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Run the
+ <cmd>gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 600</cmd>
+ command to set the number of seconds (10 minutes equals 600 seconds).</p></item>
+ <item><p>Run the
+ <cmd>gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'hibernate'</cmd>
+ command to set the type of logout.</p></item>
</steps>
- <p>This command sets whether to <var>hibernate</var>, <var>suspend</var> or do nothing when inactive
- and when on AC. The default settings is <var>suspend</var>.</p>
