[Bug 1757375] Re: Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive
I think I can't reproduce this anymore on Xubuntu 20.04. I left the laptop idle and after 30 minutes it was suspended as expected, without making any fixes (clean install). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757375 Title: Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/1757375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1757375] Re: Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive
I can also reproduce this on both of my computers running Xubuntu 19.04, a desktop and a laptop. Just to be extra clear on what the issue is: If the computer is left idle for 10 minutes, the screen locks. When 15 minutes have passed, it should suspend, but it never does. I unlock the screen to investigate why, and find that there is a prompt window asking my password in order to allow the system to suspend. What usually happens as a consequence: I fall asleep with the laptop still running, and on the next day the thing is powered off with only 1% of battery power. It stayed ON all night. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757375 Title: Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/1757375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the response. Sorry for the delay, I didn't get a notification about this. If by admin you mean one that has sudo privileges or a member of group `adm`, then yes. It's the default user created by the installer. I could reproduce this on Arch Linux and other distros IIRC. The workaround works on them too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757375 Title: Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/1757375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

it's also weird because /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy has ... auth_admin_keep auth_admin_keep yes Which means the active session should be allowed Is you user an admin one? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757375 Title: Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/1757375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's not ignored but the bug is about a 3 years old version of Ubuntu and it got only one report in that time with 2 affect users, that makes it a pretty low priority issue. Also suspend on idle does work under Unity so maybe the issue is not the with the permission but with the action xfce is using? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757375 Title: Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/1757375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1757375] Re: Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive
The solution is right here, so simple to apply. Why is this ignored? No one else suspends their machines?
