[SOLVED] Replace suspend with suspend-then-hibernate

Hello,

is it possible to replace the suspend function with suspend-then-hibernate?

I am using Gnome and it does not have an option for suspend-then-hibernate. There is only an option for suspend.

I have tried some configs in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf, which did not work:

[Sleep]
AllowSuspend=yes
AllowHibernate=yes
AllowSuspendThenHibernate=yes
SuspendMode=suspend-then-hibernate
HibernateDelaySec=1min

This gives me a blackscreen, when I try to wake up my laptop.

I have tried replacing the 4th line with these, but this also did not work:

suspend=suspend-then-hibernate

SuspendState=disk

Thank you for your help.

~~Outdated info I found...~~

It seems that GNOME overrides the systemd suspend behavior, causing your issue...

~~This is outdated, I may be wrong...~~

They still haven’t done anything about it yet...

You may need to look for alternatives or use systemctl directly if the wiki does not cover that...

Thank you.
Suspend is not so important for me.
I only need an option to hibernate automatically after a time of inactivity.

~~I recommend reverting your changes and then proceed to read and test the recommendations until you find the one you need...~~

EDIT: why gnome why....

The more I read the more hopeless it looks...
I have found no successful attempt at this!

I have found a solution:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type hibernate
