Description Marko Kettunen 2017-07-18 11:09:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Suspending the computer through the power button icon in the top bar of Gnome doesn't work. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Easy to test.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the power button icon in the Gnome top bar
2. Press Alt on the keyboard to enable suspend feature
3. Click the suspend button

Actual results:
The computer and monitor move into power saving mode for a few seconds before reactivating.

Expected results:
Computer and monitor should remain in power saving mode.

Additional info:
Suspending works as expected when activated through the automatic power saving feature. That is, Gnome is able to automatically move the computer into a power saving state after a time period specified in the system settings. Also, issuing the command 'systemctl suspend' from a terminal window or through the Alt+F2 dialog box succesfully moves the computer into a power saving state.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 09:01:28 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:31:33 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
