perhaps a setting in the Power Settings relating to lid action is interfering.

#

set the lid close action to "Do nothing" and see if the same issue persists.

plucky isle perhaps a setting in the Power Settings relating to lid action is interfering.

I forgot to mention. It has already been set to "Do nothing" both on Battery Power and A/C power.
I am sure it is because something is getting stuck. However, I do not know what log file I should check for this.

check these marked ones

#

Does it make sense to check these now, or only right after the screren turning off and not reactivating?

#

i guess you could trigger it

#

then check

#

I tried to search for kern.log, it got me nowhere. Where am I supposed to find these?

#

I'll trigger and check

#

unmount other drives/devices,

inner adder Jul 21, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

I can find them now

plucky isle Jul 21, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

then ctrl-F from / folder

#

I just triggered the logging out issue. I clicked logout and immediately closed the lid. It didn't come back even after minutes of waiting. I'll see what these logs have to say

#

I am sorry, but I have trouble finding the syslog file, where should it be located?

#

I couldn't manage to find user log and syslog.
Would these be enough to find the issue? If I know where they are located, I could find them.

#

There is no user.log that I could find though...

#

also check .xsession-errors file, in your user home folder

inner adder Jul 21, 2024, 11:27 AM

#

Do these indicate anything?
