$ systemctl poweroff
Failed to issue method call: Operation already in progress
Failed to issue method call: Activation of org.freedesktop.systemd1 timed out
Fairly sure this is related to this kernel bug.

Managed to capture the output this time, it hung for about 30 seconds then output this error. I hope this helps.
systemctl suspend
Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut:

Today everything is working fine, I ran this command and the system suspended without an hitch. I will have to wait until it acts up again and run it and see what error I get.
I am beginning to think the button binding itself is not the issue rather the command it is calling. When it acts up I cant suspend, reboot, shutdown etc. The only thing that works is "sudo poweroff -h". I will try to get more output next time this is an issue in the next day or so.

]]>Where have you been? Final notice of end of initscripts support is https://www.archlinux.org/news/end-of-i … s-support/.
As mentioned, I am a fairly new user, even more so this install itself is only about 6 months old so this post was before my time. I was referring to https://www.archlinux.org/news/deprecat … ysctlconf/
Work through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … nitscripts if you have not already done so.
I have gone through this with no luck.
Make sure polkit is installed. Remove yourself from any potentially problematic groups (e.g. power etc.)
polkit is installed, although I'm rather confused as to how this would cause an issue as I'm not sure I entirely understand it's function.
Make sure you do not have multiple things trying to handle the suspend, although usually this causes a double-suspend rather than none at all.
Once again, my newbie status leaves me unsure of how to pursue this one.
What were you using to control this stuff? Do you know what is being used now?
Thankfully my suspend worked out of the box, as a result I didn't investigate as to how it was working so I don't really know. For the few things that didn't work (volume keys, lock screen) I used xbindkeys.
Is your system completely up to date? Have you dealt with all pacnew and pacsave files?
Yes, I have updated my system several times since then to no avail. As to the pacnew and pacsave files, This is new for me, am I correct in saying these are saved config files that were replaced during a previous update that I need to somehow reincorporate? I searched for them but from what I can see none of them seem to be related to my issue.
$ find / -regextype posix-extended -regex ".+\.pac(new|save|orig)" 2> /dev/null
/etc/group.pacnew
/etc/gshadow.pacnew
/etc/colord.conf.pacnew
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew
/etc/ppp/ip-down.d/00-dns.sh.pacnew
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00-dns.sh.pacnew
/boot/grub/grub.cfg.pacnew
/boot/grub/grub.cfg.pacsave
Also, I would like to note that at the time of this post suspend is working perfectly fine, however the problem is not solved as its functionality phases in and out. I don't know if its sporadic behavior is helpful in this troubleshoot or not, just throwing it out there.
Update: its not working again, tried to shutdown via terminal and this was the error.
sudo shutdown -h now
[sudo] password for _____:
Failed to open /dev/initctl: No such device or address
Failed to talk to init daemon.
This became a problem after arch officially moved to systemd around 2013-09-17.
