My PC is running Ubuntu 22.04, with KDE Plasma 5.24. When I select Sleep from the Application Launcher, it always starts t go to sleep, but then it seems like a 50-50 chance that it will stay asleep. Many times, it wakes right back up again within 10 seconds. If I try to make it sleep two or more times, sometimes it will eventually sleep but not always.

I’ve done some searching and cannot find a resolution to this.

It seems I’m not the only one too - https://superuser.com/questions/1795451/kde-plasma-does-not-sleep

1. Is there a sure-fire way to tell Ubuntu KDE to sleep?

2. If not, what are some things which might wake it up again?

Thanks!
