From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mint 22 won't suspend automatically (sopuli.xyz)

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Manually suspending works, and it suspends automatically usually about 1 - 2 days after rebooting, then suddenly even the screen won't turn off.

What DE are you using? I noticed that under XFCE, I have to use the display-managed suspend option, rather than the "system-managed" one (not sure why there's a distinction).

i use cinnamon. and every suspend option works when done manually in terminal or gui.

That seems like a policy kit issue. Maybe the system doesn't have the permissions to do it automatically. XFce usually has such problems in other distros, but I haven't heard one on mint with cinnamon.

Another thing to look at is what graphics card you're using. With nvidia you can get some weird suspend issues.

Finally, install a newer kernel to see if that fixes the issue.

i have tried new and old kernels, liquorix and xanmod too, no help. i am using nvidia gpu though, this has been my fear... maybe I'll go back to mint 21.3 as it didn't suffer from this.
