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!

    Ok, let’s compare notes - I have nvidia, using the nvidia provided driver, asus m’board, amd ryzen 5 CPU. I run with KDE on X11.

    I have a bluetooth dongle I use for my headset too and right, sometimes it seems to help to remove that before sleeping.

    I wish there was a “I really want you to go to sleep no matter what option”, like to have the PC ignore whatever signals it’s getting that make it wake up again.

    Not relevant, but I have this same problem on a Windows laptop rn too. I have no idea why that’s happening either.
