In all cases, using that setting will make it hibernate after a few hours of being suspended--including when the lid is closed, if the system is configured to suspend on lid close. Does this not meet your needs? Hi Nate, thanks for picing this up... My observation was that closing the lid makes the laptop suspend and later hibernate no matter if I'm on AC or battery. As far as I cloud see in sleep.conf there doesn't seem to be a separate option. So I don't know if this is possible at all. My "wish" would be on battery: close lid -> suspend and hibernate after x minutes (as configured in sleep.conf?) - save energy on AC: close lid -> suspend and do NOT enter hibernate state later - wake up much faster So there would be a "duplication" of this checkbox in the handle button event section on both tabs (AC and battery) I hope the daemon can handle this at all otherwise it doesn't make sense to extend the energy settings ... Regards Peter Can't you do that already? In the "On AC Power" tab, uncheck the "While asleep, hibernate after a period of inactivity" checkbox. On the "On Battery" and "On Low Battery" tabs, check it. Does that do what you want? If not, can you describe how what you want is different from what I proposed? I had it that way. AC unchecked. On Battery checked. But when I closed the lid while plugged to AC in the evening the laptop woke up from hibernation (long wae up time with decryption password from grub etc...) So I assumed that the settings are being ignored when id is closed or button is pressed. What I didn't test at all is if this happens if I let my laptop suspend after x minutes and hibernate after y minutes of inactivity by itself. (This would at least tell me if my laptop can stay suspended only or if it ALWAYS hibernates after suspend because of settings in sleep.conf) I'll analysis when I'm back home. (Currently on holiday with my travel notebook ;) ) Sounds like there is a bug here more so than the lack of a feature or setting. Can you rephrase the title in terms of the bug you're seeing, rather than a request for some feature or fix? Thanks! Hi Nate, back from holiday I yesterday tried to collect some more information for filing a (new) bug. But EndeavourOS (Arch based) first gave me half a ton of updates (kernel, systemd, KDE, ...) and magically now it works as desired/expected. Plasma / systemd sleep now respects my checkboxes and stays in suspend when on AC and hibernates after a while when on battery. So I'll close this bug. P.S. really appreciate your work and efforts for Plasma/KDE project and like your pointieststick.com blog :thumbsup: Great news! Looks like the issue you were facing was upstream of us, probably in upower or the kernel. I guess it got fixed. Glad you're enjoying the blog! |
Created attachment 144822 [details] energy options with hibernate checkbox - sample SUMMARY *** currently in energy settings there's an option to hibernate after a longer period 9of inactivity on battery and on ac tab. this is only for system suspending after a period of inactivity. It would be useful to have this option for power button pressed / lid closed, too *** background: my thinkpad suffers the battery drain bug when in suspend. usually it's running on ac at home and I close lid over night. resume in the morning is fast. sometimes I work elsewhere on battery. in this case hibernate after suspend would be nice in case I close lid, put the laptop away and don't continue work after an hour or so. so it would just need two more checkboxes (one on battery tab and on on ac tab) plus lines of code similar to those being used for the suspend after timeout + hibernating.
