Prevent GNOME auto sleep

Recent update in Kali linux is having one problem with the auto suspend operation. Even the power settings are perfect (Automatic suspend = Off), the computer sleeps every 20 minutes.

Steps to perform to disable auto sleep:

cd /usr/share/gdm/dconf
vi 90-debian-settings

Search for below parameters, uncomment if commented. Set the value to 0.

sleep-inactive-ac-timeout=0
sleep-inactive-battery-timeout=0

Once done, run below command to refresh the settings:

dconf compile /var/lib/gdm3/greeter-dconf-defaults /usr/share/gdm/dconf

The issue should be resolved !! If not, please comment below. Will look into the issue.
