[SOLVED] Suspend on LXDM

addr7 · 10-20-2015, 02:41 PM

Debian Jessie: installed LXDM and using Pekwm.

I wish to find LXDM's logout script and use the Suspend part only to hook to F5 so that I can press this and walk away without having the logout menu come up and then selecting Suspend.
Currently in Pekwm I have the following which all works fine but I would like the single key press for Suspend.

Code:

KeyPress = "F5" { Actions = "Exec /usr/bin/lxde-logout" }
	KeyPress = "F6" { Actions = "exit" }  
        Keypress = "F7" {Actions = "Exec systemctl reboot" }
        Keypress = "F8" {Actions = "Exec systemctl poweroff" }

I have just moved from Crunchbang where I did (with help) have this set up.

how did you have it set up in crunchbang? please show us.
right now i'm not totally sure what you want to accomplish, and which part is pekwm logout, and which part (if any) has to do with lxdm.
you know, lxde-logout has no direct connection to lxdm.

do you want to suspend when you press F5 inside a pure pekwm session? or is it an lxde session with pekwm as wm?

what distro are you using?

It's Pekwm on LXDM Debian Jessie which is using systemd and I've just found the ridiculously easy answer:

Code:

systemctl suspend
