Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I have no special knowledge here, but your settings are saved for your user account, but with the machine unattended and therefore lock taking effect, 'rights' to suspend and do other functions are disabled until users have proven who they are. It could be anyone trying to suspend the system, so I think it's correct for the system to ignore the 'suspend' until the person-wishing-to- suspend has proven they have the rights to suspend the machine. Also please your system if fully-updated, should report itself as 18.04.3 (which was officially released last Thursday 8 August (http://fridge.ubuntu.com/?p=8730) though most people saw it a day or so before then). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1839891 Title: suspend by power button doesn't work when screen is locked Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have In Privacy Settings, Screen Lock : On In Power Settings, When the Power Button is pressed : Suspend However suspending only works when the desktop session is unlocked.
