When I have a browser window open with a video playing, linux will not suspend when requested, but will instead show a dialog asking if I want to interrupt.



Is there a way to have it always suspend no matter what, and interrupt any process running?



I have automatically suspend after 1 hour of inactivity set, and I would like for that to never fail.



I am running cinnamon desktop on Linux Mint 18.2

  • I wouldn't know the answer, but it's very dependent on the distribution and the desktop environment. You should add more informations: distribution, distribution's version, desktop environment (xfce? mate? ...), ... there's no technical reason for this. For example as root doing echo mem > /sys/power/state would always suspend no matter what (but with some hardware, sometimes, some things can give problems)
