I was experimenting with using Howdy for some facial recognition unlocks, but somewhere along the line, I realized that my computer stopped suspending/locking when the lid was closed! I uninstalled howdy, and it went back to normal, and investigating `systemd-inhibit` the only difference was that suspend worked when `UPower` was not present. However, I removed howdy, and now `Upower` is still there, but it is listed as a dependency of kio, so I can't remove it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install howdy 2. reboot 3. Check if upower shows up with `systemd-inhibit` 4. If it is, close lid of laptop 5. Open lid, and computer screen goes straight to desktop without any waiting. OBSERVED RESULT Screen doesn't lock or suspend EXPECTED RESULT It used to lock and suspend just fine.
