What is the best way to have auto-suspend into antiX ?

I think what you need is in /etc/default/acpi-support. Look for this line

Code: Select all
# Uncomment this to enable ACPI sleep when the lid screen is closed.
#LID_SLEEP=true

and try uncommenting the LID_SLEEP line.

I have seen this tip & trick, and that’s work for the lid screen.

But I also would like to have an auto-suspend mode at, for example, after 15 minutes inactivity, and I do not seen any available options for “power management” into the “Control Center”, and ether.

So what is the best practice for antiX ?
Maybe :linrunner , or an other sofware like that ?

If you’re just looking to auto-suspend after 15 minutes, you could try xautolock.

Install xautolock. Then add this to your startup-file in the hidden ./desktop-session folder in home

#suspend after 15 min
 xautolock -time 15 -locker "sudo pm-suspend" &

Thank you Caprea, perfect;
I have just to adapt this for a normal user (no root/sudo)

to grant permission for a normal user, you can
sudo visudo
or add a rule within /etc/sudoers.d/antixers
%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/xautolock
(untested: may also need to grant /usr/sbin/pm-suspend )

Thank you Skidoo, your are faster than me 😉 … I choose another way (your should work too):

Yes I have created a new file into /etc/sudoers.d/users-custom_pm-suspend
… and added:

# sudoers file.
#%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
#.. to add ...:

#leafpad /etc/sudoers.d/users-custom_pm-suspend
# then ...
#chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/users-custom_pm-suspend

user1-antix ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
user2-antix ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
user3-antix ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

#... or for all user#
#user5-antix ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

#ou 
#%users ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

… Then add for this user1 , to file:
/home/users1-antix/.desktop-session/startup

#suspend after 15 min
 xautolock -time 15 -locker "sudo pm-suspend" &

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think because /usr/sbin/pm-suspend is already part of the /etc/sudoers.d/antixers-file,
the above step is not necessary, and it should work without.

… Needed above steps here if the user is not root nor sudo.

…

`#suspend after 15 min
xautolock -time 15 -locker “sudo pm-suspend” &`

# into my ~/.desktop-session/startup
# to get a locked screen after waking up your computer from suspend to RAM ... I finally also used i3lock:
xautolock -time 15 -locker "i3lock -c 000000 && echo 'mem > /sys/power/state' && sudo pm-suspend" &
