Description sankeytms 2012-08-10 02:20:15 UTC

System will not auto suspend even if it is enabled in the settings. xautolock works fine, KDE is at fault.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. System Settings -> Power Management -> Energy Saving Settings -> Suspend Session = X min


Actual Results:  
2. wait X min
3. nothing happens

Expected Results:  
2. wait X min
3. system suspends

4. install xautolock and use this command: 
/usr/bin/xautolock -time X -detectsleep -locker "/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --dest='org.freedesktop.PowerManagement' /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Suspend"
5. wait X min
6. system suspends

I can confirm that this bug affects me also

I just found out the bug only happens if "Screen Energy Saving" is configured to turn off the screen *before* "Suspend Session". Disable screen energy saving and problem is solved.

This affects me also.

If you squint, this looks a little bit like bug #306950 which was fixed in 4.9.3. Do you have this problem in any later versions?

If so, please enable 'kded' in kdebugdialog - you might need to log out and in again after the first time you run it to get 'kded' with no numbers in front of it to appear in the kdebugdialog. Then log out and in again and tell me what the output of 'grep -i xsync .xsession-errors' is.

I just tried this in 4.9.5 and it seems to be fixed.

sankeytms?

Comment 7 sankeytms 2013-02-10 20:26:40 UTC

Sorry, I cannot test this bug until I have physical access to my parents' computer again. Next weekend I will go to their house and run a dist-upgrade to get Kubuntu 12.10 (coming from 12.04), which should give KDE 4.9.4 (coming from 4.8.5).

Stay tuned...

Any news on this?

Comment 9 sankeytms 2013-04-19 23:14:16 UTC

Upgraded to Kubuntu 12.10/KDE 4.9.4 and the problem is gone.

Ta very much.
