I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Manually suspending works, and it suspends automatically usually about 1 - 2 days after rebooting, then suddenly even the screen won’t turn off.

    That seems like a policy kit issue. Maybe the system doesn’t have the permissions to do it automatically. XFce usually has such problems in other distros, but I haven’t heard one on mint with cinnamon.

    Another thing to look at is what graphics card you’re using. With nvidia you can get some weird suspend issues.

    Finally, install a newer kernel to see if that fixes the issue.

      i have tried new and old kernels, liquorix and xanmod too, no help. i am using nvidia gpu though, this has been my fear… maybe I’ll go back to mint 21.3 as it didn’t suffer from this.
