So...As I installed KDE Neon recently, it worked and autosuspended perfectly after 15min, which is what's set on Power Management settings. However, I've noticed after installing and configuring all the rest of the apps, it's no longer the case. I mean, it DOES suspend if I manually click the Suspend in the start menu, or if I hit the suspend key from my keyboard. But it won't do it on its own.

I initially suspected SMPlayer, which in the Ubuntu 24.04 repos has a long standing issue about this (will suspend when playback stopped, but not when paused). But after installing the newest flatpak...and even with SMPlayer closed, it's still not suspending. What else could be blocking Power Management from suspending my PC? How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

Steam often does it for me. But it should tell you what's doing it in the task tray icon bar somewhere (not near a computer at the moment, so I can't be specific)

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.
