            Bug ID: 451899
           Summary: Computer is suspend even after disabling it in power
                    settings
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
After updating plasma to 5.24, if I leave the computer inactive for a couple of
hours, it will not be usable anymore when I try to reactivate it (nothing is
shown on screen, even though the computer is turned on and the fans are making
noise, and it doesn't respond to key presses, mouse clicks, or power button
presses).

I suspect the computer might have been sent to sleep or hibernation somehow,
even though I have both those states disabled in systemd and even though my KDE
power settings explicitly say not to suspend nor hibernate in any situation.
The computer (a laptop from a cheap brand) does not support sleep nor
hibernation with linux kernels of the 5.something line, and this kind of thing
tends to happen when one tries to enter those states.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install some old plasma version.
2. Go to the system settings and remove anything from the power settings that
would result in sleep or hibernation. Optionally, remove those states
altogether from systemd.
3. Update to plasma 5.24.3.
4. Leave the computer inactive for a couple hours.

OBSERVED RESULT
Computer is not usable anymore: nothing shows on screen, doesn't respond to key
presses, doesn't respond to mouse movements or clicks, doesn't respond to power
button presses, doesn't switch tty's with Ctrl + Alt + F<number>. Only way to
make it usable is through a forcible poweroff.

EXPECTED RESULT
The computer should be showing the lock screen program and nothing else. In any
event, the computer should be usable without a forcible poweroff.
