Won't suspend if system is set to lock on suspend - Riley Davies - 09-07-2018

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to linux lite but so far I love it! ;D There is just one problem I have, and that is that my laptop won't suspend when I close the lid. In power manager, I have the laptop lid action set to suspend, and I want it to display the lock screen on wake from suspend. To do this I just thought I needed to tick the option "lock screen when system is going to sleep". I tested it out by closing the laptop lid. I waited a long time and I could still hear the laptop fan running and the light on the front of the laptop wasn't blinking. It works as expected if I untick "lock screen when system is going to sleep" in power manager. I'm pretty sure this is a bug but I'm not sure if there is something I'm doing wrong. Is there any way I can fix this?
I am on Linux Lite 3.8 32 bit.
Also, I have searched the internet and changed many settings and haven't found any solutions.

Hi Riley,

I have had some suspend/wake issues, but my approach is to just use the Logout menu and click on suspend, and it works right away. At the end of the day I then close the lid. Opening the lid next morning wakes the system.

I am open to correction of course, but my understanding is that laptops come with a version of Windows which is not generic, i.e. it is customized to suit the particular manufacturers hardware and features. Then when I install a generic Linux OS I don't expect all the hardware actions (e.g. closing lid) to work the same way, so I use the menu. A very small concession for a lovely Linux OS!

I don't have experience of using Lock-screen I'm afraid.

Linux Lite 3.8 64bit, Dell Latitude.

Btw I think that I should have mentioned that I used to have ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS and ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on the same laptop before I switched to Linux Lite. On both versions of ubuntu the suspend worked upon shutting the laptop lid and showed the password prompt upon opening it.

I will look around and see if I can locate any other methods used for this.
Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu so there should be a solution.

One solution that worked for a member on Linux Lite was this -

https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/start-up-and-shutdown/problem-closing-lid-on-laptop/msg38177/#msg38177

I notice in several threads for this on the forum it seems that it solved for some members after updates, Menu>Favorites>Install Updates so it is worth checking these if they have not been done since the problem began.

You are correct [member=8059]Riley Davies[/member] there was a bug identified for this -

I am having problems when closing my laptop lid after the updates today.

I am a bit of a novice and have problems with concentration.

Has someone found a definite fix? Sorry if already listed but I am finding it hard to read large amounts of text.

Not yet, I had quoted your previous solution above.

Sorry I have an illness that makes it hard to follow large amounts of text. Thanks for reply.

I will ask my partner later if it affected their laptop, and if so how they solved it.
