Automatic hibernate and on lid close on manjaro gnome

[megavolt]

Hello @ahmed-derbala and welcome

@ahmed-derbala

how to hibernate to disk on lid close

File: /etc/systemd/logind.conf

HandleLidSwitch=hibernate

@ahmed-derbala

automatically when not in use in a period of time

File: /etc/systemd/logind.conf

HandleLidSwitch=suspend-then-hibernate

File: /etc/systemd/sleep.conf

HibernateDelaySec=180min

Test it: sudo systemctl suspend-then-hibernate

This works not everywhere and depends on firmware support.

Gnome3 has no GUI support for handling this. It has only “suspend after a period of time”.
