[Solved] sleep prevented by configd

[acda33]

So this was working fine awhile ago. I did get a new mouse (so new hardware) and I also disabled sleep via the Energy System Preferences for one day (I was doing a large file transfer and didn't want it interrupted. I'm not certain if the update to 10.13.6 was about that same time too or not.

Following that, though, the computer won't sleep anymore. I dove into it, and found this output from pmset:

% sudo pmset -g
System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
hibernatemode 0
womp 0
networkoversleep 0
sleep 30 (sleep prevented by configd)
Sleep On Power Button 1
ttyskeepawake 1
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
disksleep 10
gpuswitch 2
displaysleep 10

Now, I don't have the settings from before so I don't know what was different. It seems like configd has gone nuts and is churning in the background somewhere, preventing sleep? I've killed it multiple times as well as restarted, and cleared nvram; no change.

Internet searches basically said "don't worry about configd, it's fine, just restart it if it's consuming high CPU" but nothing about this issue.

Any suggestions appreciated!

id10t error. Internet sharing was turned on which prevented sleep. Dummy.
