My PC is running Ubuntu 22.04, with KDE Plasma 5.24. When I select Sleep from the Application Launcher, it always starts t go to sleep, but then it seems like a 50-50 chance that it will stay asleep. Many times, it wakes right back up again within 10 seconds. If I try to make it sleep two or more times, sometimes it will eventually sleep but not always.

I’ve done some searching and cannot find a resolution to this.

It seems I’m not the only one too - https://superuser.com/questions/1795451/kde-plasma-does-not-sleep

  1. Is there a sure-fire way to tell Ubuntu KDE to sleep?

  2. If not, what are some things which might wake it up again?

Thanks!

    Depending on what method of suspend you are employing, it could be due to lack of sufficient swap space. That’s a common problem.

    I have this problem too. Kubuntu 22.04. The PC will sleep and then randomly I’ll see that it’s awake again. One theory I have is that KDE connect events on my phone are waking it?

    You could try to change the sleep state from s2idle to deep. Not sure how to do this on Kubuntu though.
