Check a couple things before you rearrange the furniture. When you installed FreedomBox on Debian did you also install a desktop environment? If so [there is a support thread on this where Gnome was putting the FreedomBox to sleep.](https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/freedombox-shutting-down-after-less-than-an-hour/2392/5) If you did not install a desktop environment, check the service targets in Cockpit. Go to Services and select the Targets tab. Here’s hibernate. Use the search field in the targets tab: ![image](https://discuss.freedombox.org/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5b8b5c51645c98b535cf8fbb48e6cd9aff77e177.png) Here’s sleep: ![image](https://discuss.freedombox.org/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e9225803948a36f05ca58f0698d5efa9d4cedbbe.png) You’ll want to “mask” these services if they are active so they don’t trigger. Here’s what Google says about that: ![image](https://discuss.freedombox.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b760d815b0e3b36236b27c5874f95121610f38a4.png) You can mask these from Cockpit using the three dots menu in the service target… ![image](https://discuss.freedombox.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b7cb130a3a2641a129ff9d433079bba506ca0d66.png) (my browser doesn’t render that very well - but there’s a menu with Start, Mask, Pin unit) If that’s not it, then I’d hook up the keyboard and monitor and look if there are BIOS settings for this. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/putting-together-new-debian-freedombox-server/2897)._
