system does not suspend automatically

[Frederik Claus]

The system does not suspend automatically. Not with standard power settings (5min,10mins,etc...) nor with custom settings (10). Suspending manually with shutdown->suspend works fine.

Here comes all my settings-daemon dconf-settings:

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-hibernate 'hibernate'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power 'interactive'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-sleep 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-suspend 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power critical-battery-action 'hibernate'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 30
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-ac false
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-battery true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-time 10
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power notify-perhaps-recall true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-action 2
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-critical 3
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-low 10
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power priority 1
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-display-ac 0

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 10
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'suspend'

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sparhawk (sparhawkthesecond)]

I had this problem for months, and this fixed it for me http://askubuntu.com/a/180505/53508

Unfortunately I had no success reverting settings to recapitulate the bug, so I cannot isolate it.

[spark (sparky-plug)]

I have this problem too on ubuntu gnome 14.04 . A 10 minute suspend time is just way too short. Is there another fix or way of extending to half an hour or more?
