#246348 — xfce suspend not working

I was using MATE but I installed xfce. When I select the suspend button
a message appears saying suspend in 30 seconds. If I click suspend the
screen locks. If I wait the system does not suspend. If I log in again
an error message says suspend failed timeout reached.

There seem to be conflicting settings available for example in power
management and in session management for lock before suspend. I tried
using slim instead of lightdm but this has removed the suspend options.

What I want is for the system to suspend to ram if it is left
unattended, and to suspend to ram when I request it to do so, and in
both cases to lock the screen so that it is locked on return from
suspend. How do I do this with XFCE (4?) ?

I think I have fixed it. It was caused by the mate-screensaver dialog
running.

Hi Richmond,

Why don't you make an experiment?

Make a full backup of your ssystem

Do some serious testing in your spare time.

Publish the results, please.

You might do others a favour (now and in the future).
