Problem entering standby

[rorso]

For quite a while now, I have the problem that fsearch is blocking standby mode.

I use fsearch quite often and other than "everything" on Windows, fsearch has to crawl all folders for an update - which is quite slow. So I have it running most of the time in the background.

When fsearch is updating the database (which takes quite a while) my Ubuntu 22.04 is unable to enter standby. Neither automatically, nor manually.

1. The program keeps the system up and running, so it won't automatically hibernate when I don't use it.
2. If I press the "standby" button, the system goes asleep and returns magically after a few seconds, if fsearch was updating the DB at that time, starting at 1) again.

I always have to check, whether fsearch is loaded and whether it currently do an update, before I can set my PC asleep. It's "enough" to stop the current actualization. Push the button and wait until it stops, before I may hit the standby-button.

Sometimes I forget, hibernate it manually and go to sleep for myself, when I see it going inactive - just to find, it has been reactivated and running all night, wasting energy. :-(

Is there something I can do against this?
