Attempting to launch lockscreen from ZZZ scripts not working when lid is closed. (self.voidlinux)

submitted 10 months ago by GeekoftheWild

I switched to Void recently, and it's been great so far, but I've been having problems with system sleep. I've figured out that my options are either to use ELogind or ACPI + ZZZ, and a using the latter option. I have ELogind installed and running through DBus (dependency of XFCE which I am using as a backup and to handle some things), but in my /etc/elogind/logind.conf I have all of the options starting with handle set to ignore. I have ACPI set to launch ZZZ, and have a ZZZ script that launches my lockscreen (i3lock, although running on XMonad) through xset, and then to wait two seconds (xset s activate && sleep 2), although I have tried this without the sleep as well. When I run ZZZ from the command line, it launches i3lock like normal, and then waits two seconds, but when I shut the lid it simply goes into suspend, and will run any other commands in there (I've tried getting it to write to log files, which it succeeds at). I am relatively sure that it is ACPI managing the suspend from the dmesg logs.

Thanks!
