Gnome suspend issues

I’ve recently installed eos-gnome on my Lenovo Miix 710, basically a Surface knock-off from 7 or so years ago. It’s a touchscreen, and I use it with a bluetooth keyboard. I’m having an issue where it won’t stay suspended. That is, if it suspends from being inactive, me hitting the power button, using the gnome power menu, or typing systemctl suspend, it’ll go dark, but then the screen lights up again every 5 min or so, and the battery seems to draw down at about the same rate as if I were actively using it.

I’ve looked at past posts here (and many other places), and I’ve checked/fiddled with settings in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf, but to no avail. I’m pretty sure it’s a software issue, as I had debian gnome on it before and didn’t have this problem (though I had numerous others that eos has fixed). Thanks.

I have the same issue on a lenovo ideapad slim 3 15abr8, it doesn’t go to sleep and I can’t use the keyboard on the lockscreen anymore.

could be maybe because of this? Not sure… I think it’s this because my system completely freezes if I have qemu started, like others reported here. Maybe this not going to sleep is caused by the same bug. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/33626

I turned off the automatic sleep in settings, which seems to have solved it. It’s a slight hassle, in that I now need to manually put the computer to sleep before I walk away from it, but given the way I use this laptop that’s not a big deal.

Perhaps you could make a convenient keyboard shortcut for systemctl suspend instead of using the quick settings menu if that is the way your suspending your system.
