Meant this to send this too. I like being able to decide what lid closing does. systemctl unmask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf modify #HandleLidSwitch=suspend, - HandleLidSwitch=poweroff computer shuts down when lid is closed - HandleLidSwitch=hibernate Computer sleeps when lid is closed - HandleLidSwitch=suspend computer hangs when lid is closed - HandleLidSwitch=ignore does nothing sysrmctl daemon-reload systemctl restart systemd-loginrestart . <https://gist.github.com/xiaolai/0dd2d7546dd1931f40b4e674d0e11d82#%E4%B8%BA-wifi-%E8%AE%BE%E7%BD%AE%E9%A9%B1%E5%8A%A8%E7%A8%8B%E5%BA%8F> On Sat, Mar 12, 2022 at 12:53 PM Brian O'Keefe <okeefe@cybermesa.com> wrote:
Ditto. Ubuntu 20.04 with Mate DE. I can close lid and suspend easily and awake easily. I don't unplug the power though as that's a risk if the battery craps out before waking, as Ted states On 3/12/22 08:35AM, Ted Pomeroy wrote:
LeRoy & NMGLugers, 1) I suggest you keep power on overnight. If you suspend and power fails your ram image of work is lost. You can try hibernate, but there have been issues with Linux and hibernate. Hibernate puts the snapshot image of your work on the hard drive, but unless the resume is set to resume form the correct location you will have a failure. My routine is to suspend during the day, if I go out or take an hour off for non-computer work. Over night I switch off after saving work and closing all apps. Your LXde is fine. I use Xfce4 or Mate, but the gui desktop is not the issue. I have found Mate much easier to manage after also finding the "extras" package for it and loading that. However, that just gives me a richer gui, did not help with suspend. I hope this helps. If not ask more questions. Thank you, Ted P

I have often heard that Linus can have problems with hibernation. Can you just 'Suspend' the system instead? That ssem to be less problematical, though even that can be iffy, depending on the laptop.

Hi NMGLUG folks,
I'm having an issue recently that I hope I can get help with. It's on my Debian 11 system, updated. Recently, I've had problems when I leave the laptop overnight. When I stop, I click on Logout > Suspend, then the screen goes black and I close the lid. I expect that when I open the lid in the morning and enter my password, I should be back where I left off.
When I've done this recently, it works sometimes. Other times, it crashes after the batteries run out of power in the middle of the night. Other times, it works, but I see a message in the morning "None of the screen lock tools ran successfully, the screen will not be locked. Do you still want to suspend the system?" Other times, it works, but I see a message in the morning "Authentication is required to hibernate the system."
I have a setting in Power Manager to hibernate when inactive for one hour, so that's what I'm focusing on now. I found some helpful info in this link https://askubuntu.com/questions/543921/authentication-required-before-suspen... I found the file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy In that file, I found this segment: <action id="org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate"> <description gettext-domain="systemd">Hibernate the system</description> <message gettext-domain="systemd">Authentication is required to hibernate the system.</message> <defaults> <allow_any>auth_admin_keep</allow_any> <allow_inactive>auth_admin_keep</allow_inactive> <allow_active>yes</allow_active> </defaults> </action>
Other info: I usually have the laptop plugged into an external monitor, and I usually have the power strip (which powers the external monitor and laptop) turned off overnight.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. LeRoy
