Recent, within the last couple of days.
Laptop or desktop?
Desktop.
I concur with Ed, the suspend stuff is controlled in the Power Management in Settings. I just looked at a 24.04 Xubuntu and there were several tabs under power management. See if they look sensible.
I have 22.04.
According to a random Ubuntu page I found, any keypress should wake from a suspend. https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/power-suspend.html.en You could try forcing a suspend (as root): # echo mem > /sys/power/state and then try to wake it up with a keypress or mouse event. Another diagnostic would be, after recovering from a ctrl-alt-del, to look at the log journal, truncated to the period of interest: journalcti -S '1 hour ago' (or some appropriate start time) and see if you see anything interesting or relevant.
Thanks. I'll see if the problem persists, or what happens when I make the recommended changes.
