How to put my laptop to sleep

alaios · 05-20-2010, 09:44 AM

Hello Everyone.
When I press the sleep button my laptop (aspire 7736Z), my laptop doesnot sleep but it only is getting locked.

I am searching for a bash command to be able to see why my laptop is not sleeping but I didnt found anything appropriate.

Could you please help me?

Best Regards
Alex.

maybe logs will reveal hardware that won't enter sleep state on linux

Thanks for the tip... but what do you mean logs? /var/logs/? . What should I try to find in there?

Best Regards!
