Machine won't suspend automatically

Post by bug67 »

I've got Mint 17.1 Cinnamon running on my machine. I installed xscreensaver and added it to start up items. I have it set to activate after 5 minutes of inactivity. I also have the advanced settings set to handle the power management. There, it's set to blank the screen and suspend after 15 minutes. I also mimicked this 15 minute settings in the system's power management setting. The problem I am having is, the computer isn't going into suspend. It does if I tell it to manually or close the lid. I'm at a loss for how to get this machine to suspend automatically. Any suggestions?

Found out I could set the screen to lock with Mint's screen locker and the computer does indeed suspend. Weird. Problem then being, I have to type in my password. Is there away to wake from suspend using Mint's screen locker that doesn't require my password? This computer sits beside my bed on my nightstand and I'm the only one using it. Security isn't really a concern but, waking from suspend without having to type in my password at 2 in the morning is. :D
