Laptop wakes up fine, but goes back to sleep after a few seconds.

Hi, I have a problem with my Acer Aspire One.

When I close the lid, the laptop sleeps, and when I open it, it seems to wake, everything works, sound, display, wireless, etc. But then after about 10 seconds, it goes back to sleep, and the only thing that will wake it is hitting the power button.

After hitting the power button and waking it again, it stays awake and everything still works. So it's not a huge problem...but it's still annoying because everytime I open the laptop I have to wait for it to inevitably fall asleep again before waking it with the power button.

Everything is up to date, and I haven't modified anything that has to do with acpid or pm-utils. Nothing seems to pop up in dmesg. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Re: Laptop wakes up fine, but goes back to sleep after a few seconds.

I had something like that.
I modified the /etc/acpi/handler.sh script and added something like

/usr/sbin/pm-utils

I got this idead when I saw this example in the arch acpid wiki:

button/lid)
    case $3 in
        close)
            #echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
	     /usr/sbin/pm-suspend &
	     DISPLAY=:0.0 su -c - username /usr/bin/slimlock
            ;;

/etc/acpi/events and /etc/acpi/actions >> I've got no selfmade scripts there...

Suspending is working fine now.
