I noticed few messages in the log of my Mint 22. Seems that v8 has lost permissions to prevent sleep in Mint 22.
Mint 21.2 does not show this error message in the logs.
Even though I disabled sleep in my both Linux boxes, I still have Keep Awake ticked in the Settings, just for good measure. Ticks are done on both GPU and CPU resource groups.

Please check if polkitd-pkla is installed (dpkg-query --show polkitd polkitd-pkla). See:

Sorry, wrong command. Try dpkg-query -L polkitd polkitd-pkla.

sudo apt install polkitd-pkla will solve it. With an active working unit, run systemd-inhibit --list to verify.

Mint 21 uses the outdated 0.105 version, while Mint 22 uses the new version with JavaScript-based rules. Our DEB package uses the older rules for broader compatibility. Therefore, on Mint 22, polkitd-pkla is required. The old policykit-1 started providing polkitd-pkla in version 0.105-32:

https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/polkit/-/commit/9e392db5105240817c235e74b5a3f4043fda256a

However, I'm uncertain if this change was backported to older versions, especially Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Thus, I think I'll recommend polkitd-pkla instead of requiring it.

Hm, but if distros keeps updating the packages, we will be back to square one

By default, apt installs recommended packages. This should be sufficient for our needs. When the next Debian is released, they should completely remove support for the old rule format, finally catching up with other distributions, maybe 15 years late.

Required to prevent sleep on Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Mint 22. Cannot be depended on as the
polkitd-pkla package is not available or provided by any other package in older versions (< 0.105-32).

Due to our use of the legacy rule format for broader Debian compatibility, the policykit-1 dependency needs
to be versioned. Otherwise, newer versions' transitional package won't pull in polkitd-pkla.

Pushed a new version requiring the dependency in #297. It should be compatible with all Debian systems.
