Lid event don't trigger suspend

I'm trying to configure a laptop to suspend when the lid is closed, and despite my efforts, i can't get to it.

i use bspwm, acpid and systemd are installed, systemctl hybrid-sleep run fine by hand, and i configured logind like this :

❯ cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf
#  This file is part of systemd.

IdleActionSec=5min
#RuntimeDirectorySize=10%
#RuntimeDirectoryInodes=400k
#RemoveIPC=yes
#InhibitorsMax=8192
#SessionsMax=8192

as far as i can tell, thereś no inhibitor involved :

❯ systemd-inhibit --list
WHO            UID USER PID COMM           WHAT  WHY                                       MODE 
NetworkManager 0   root 447 NetworkManager sleep NetworkManager needs to turn off networks delay
UPower         0   root 438 upowerd        sleep Pause device polling                      delay

2 inhibitors listed.

Lid event are correctly intercepted :

❯ systemctl status acpid.service

sept. 20 14:05:18 radium root[5285]: ACPI group/action undefined: button/up / UP

Any idea what i am missing here ?

Re: Lid event don't trigger suspend

IdleAction doesn't seem to work either

Re: Lid event don't trigger suspend

IdleAction needs WM support which I suppose bspwm lacks. Systemd properly handling Lid events needs them to not be caught by acpid instead (so try disabling and stopping that first) as well as your session being started correctly in general. Also make sure logind is actually aware of your session, if you are using xinit/startx to start the session pay attention to the notes in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc
